founded in part by avant-garde musician brian eno and david hillis, creator of the connection machine supercomputer, the long now foundation seeks to adjust the current cultural ideology of "faster, higher, cheaper" to "slower, better, sustainable." from the reading i have done on the foundation, it is a very interesting concept with existentialist roots. the organization plans to be in it for the long haul--10,000 years-- to effectively carry out its mission. an audacious goal, indeed.
