Clock of the Long Now

On one of my first nights in town, I went to a woman named Teague's house for her 28th Birthday. Felicity and I were in charge of making vegan carrot cake cupcakes.

During the evening, I met a guy named Matt who was interested in my work with The Committee, and told me about another think tank called the Clock of the Long Now. I've done some research into this, and found the following links to be intriguing:

I think I need to spend more time with this. Maybe a long time. But it's worth sharing.
