About

It is time to trade in shortsightedness for long-term thinking. That’s according to author and public philosopher, Roman Krznaric, who writes about the power of ideas to change society in his new book

The Good Ancestor.

Join us for a conversation on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at 4 pm (ET).

Krznaric will outline practical ways we can retrain our brains to think of the long view, including what he calls “Deep-Time Humility” and “Cathedral Thinking” (starting projects that will take more than one lifetime to complete). His aim is to widen our focus, to inspire more “time rebels” like Greta Thunberg – to shift our allegiance from this generation to all humanity- in short, to save our planet and our future.
