I agree, the article doesn't feel genuine. But the point it make is relevant: thinking for 10k years, is a good excuse for rich people to not give a fuck about today. The Long Now released a (pretty lame) podcast a few hours ago: http://podcast.longnow.org/salt/salt-020200115-venkataraman-podcast.mp3 Where they totally acknowledge that their 10k year view, is just a rich man problem (and they even address how they can "incite" the poors to think on the same timescale... yeah it's mostly a bad podcast) About the clock??? Yeah the guy building it should have stay on his cancer research job, for the long term good of humanity. But I guess cancer research bring less immediate fame than a cool unique clock
