“If no one else seems to care about the future, why should I?”
Short-term thinking can lead to disillusionment and cynicism. Author and Boston Globe editorial page editor Bina Venkatarman provides a refreshing counterpoint to negative thinking in her 2019 book, The Optimist’s Telescope: Thinking Ahead in a Reckless Age, named a top business book by The Financial Times and one of the year’s best books by Amazon, Science Friday, and National Public Radio.

Bina will lead a Long Now Boston conversation, moderated by author and scholar William Powers, on March 2 on topics such as:
