The Long Now Foundation is a globally-recognized champion of long-term thinking and responsibility founded in 01996 by Stewart Brand, Danny Hillis, and Brian Eno.

We believe that civilization-scale challenges call for civilization-scale thinking. We are working toward a world rich in imagination and possibility that provides a counterpoint to today's accelerating culture, a world in which we all take the long-term future and the long-term past seriously. Our highest hope is that the next generation will never doubt that we thought of them and built for them.

The Long Now Foundation began its work with The Clock of the Long Now, a mythic monument designed to keep time for the next 10,000 years from deep inside a mountain. Our work expanded into related projects all aimed at fostering long term thinking — Long Now Talks, a renowned live event series whose podcasts and videos have over 100,000 subscribers and millions of global viewers, the Long Now membership program, which centers long-term thinking in the day-to-day lives of over 12,000 members from more than 60 countries, and an award-winning cafe, bar, and museum in San Francisco called The Interval.
