Long-termism is a kind of minimalism. The longer the planning horizon beyond a point, the fewer assumptions you can trust and the simpler things get. There’s a peak of planning complexity about 5 years out and weirdly that’s the horizon a lot of planning targets.

I do want to go see the long now clock eventually though. Maybe scratch some graffiti nearby. I hope they’ve created a rock wall for graffiti. Rock blockchain. Rockchain.

What feels like good long term thinking to me feels oddly similar to that pleasant exhausted relaxation you feel the day you start recovering from a cold. There’s a kind of simplifying clarity that sets in as the high-energy bullshit drops away.

I have a cold right now. Looking forward to the recovery day. I usually get a creative breakthrough or two on long-term projects on cold-recovery days. As above so below.
