Someone asked me “how can we promote long-term thinking in our society?” Initially I was stumped, but now I think I have a good answer: “Provide for people’s basic needs first.” When folks are worried about their health and livelihood, it consumes their day-to-day thoughts.

I agree and disagree. Once basic needs are met, humans usually just reach for the next short term thing. We're not very good about long term thinking/actions as a whole. I wish we'd could track where stimulus checks were going. That would be telling.

This hasn’t been my experience at all. Once Transistor was making good money, I immediately transitioned into long-term thinking, planning, doing: - more community involvement - more giving to causes - more saving and investing - more reading and writing about non-biz stuff

Unfortunately though I think I agree with Mike here Justin. While the 3 of us may think long term. I assume that's in our nature. Many people I think move to "the next thing" not thinking long term. I wish I could believe humans were different though.

The current research here is pretty clear: “Lacking the resources to satisfy one’s needs has a profound impact on [long-term] decision making.”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6575633/ …

I stand corrected Thanks for sharing that. I guess my pessimistic side has shined through today a bit

The book Scarcity backs that all up as well. When faced with immediate needs you have no bandwidth to think past whatever is currently hitting the fan

I think the scarcity research suggests that without basic needs met, no one looks past it. But I don’t think the research suggests the opposite- that meeting basic needs automatically turns people into long term thinkers. I’ve not seen that to be true.

In my masters work, we read this: https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/EUM0000000005408/full/html …

You don’t think this study proves that point? “Neuroimaging results suggest that a scarcity mindset affects neural mechanisms underlying goal-directed decision making.” Meaning, we’re able to engage in goal-oriented thinking when our needs are met.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6575633/ …

Being able to doesn’t mean people do. That was my point.

One could say that all long term thinkers have their needs taken care of, but not all with their needs taken care of are long term thinkers?
