Long Now Executive Director Alexander Rose introduces the Fund of the Long Now, an essential step in making Long Now a truly long-term institution.
Invest in the long-term future with a tax-deductible gift to Long Now today: longnow.org/support/
**************
June 02016 marks Long Now’s twentieth anniversary. In terms of an upstart nonprofit, that seems like a relatively long time. But what it really means is that we still have at least 9,980 years left to go.
So we decided to build a fund to better ensure our future, and at the same moment reward you by putting deep time in your hands.
As a thank you to those who provide tangible support to The Fund of the Long Now we have made a limited edition set of Bristlecone Pine Tree Kit. There are only a limited number of kits, and we will get them to as many substantive donors as possible. This kit is a living symbol of our shared commitment to the deep future, whether that is the coming centuries or millennia. The Fund of the Long Now is being built to back up our promise to that future, and to support the operating budget of a truly long-term cultural institution.
Once we reach $500,000, The Fund of the Long Now will go into active management that is specifically designed around long-term thinking. We have been testing this with our fund managers for several years.
The idea behind the Fund comes from one of our core principles, Leverage Longevity, and was best illustrated in Stewart Brand’s The Clock of the Long Now. So as you consider making a contribution we leave you with his quote:
"The slow stuff is the serious stuff, but it is invisible to us quick learners. Our senses and our thinking habits are tuned to what is sudden, and oblivious to anything gradual. Between the near-impossible win of a lottery and the certain win of earning compound interest, we choose the lottery because it is sudden. The difference between fast news and slow non-news is what makes gambling addictive. Winning is an event that we notice and base our behavior on, while the relentless losing, losing, losing is a nonevent, inspiring no particular behavior, and so we miss the real event, which is that to gamble is to lose."
What happens fast is illusion, what happens slow is reality. The job of the long view is to penetrate illusion.
On April 26, 02016 ancient China scholar Edward Slingerland spoke at The Interval at Long Now about "Creativity, Trust and the Paradox of Spontaneity".
This speaker was a 02016 fellow at Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS). Long Now is proud to regularly feature CASBS Fellows in our "Conversations at The Interval" series.
