The Long Now Project

The Long Now Project is an initiative aimed at encouraging long-term thinking and responsibility. Founded in 1996, it promotes the idea of considering the impact of our actions not just today, but across generations—thousands of years into the future. The project is known for its distinctive 10,000-Year Clock, designed to tick for millennia, symbolizing humanity's potential for long-term planning. Through various discussions, art, and technology, the Long Now Project challenges people to rethink their perspectives on time, sustainability, and the legacy we leave behind, fostering a culture that values enduring solutions over short-term gains.
