Our Long Now Talks started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from speakers around the world. By encouraging thought and conversation about what might be in store for us in the next century, the next millennium, and the next geological era, The Long Now Foundation ultimately tries to expand our collective sense of the present moment.
