Jeff Bezos wants us all to be good ancestors. The Amazon supremo just tweeted that installation has begun on one of his pet projects of the last decade, the 10,000 Year Clock, also called the Clock of the Long Now

Designed to stay accurate for that huge time period, the giant clock will tick once a year, moving its century hand every 100 years, and send out a cuckoo once a millennia – just 10 times in its life. And it costs US$ 42 million. What is Bezos thinking?

What is the 10,000 Year Clock for? Humans are shortsighted and could be hurtling towards extinction. Global warming? Not our problem. Resource depletion? Let the grandchildren worry about that. Humanity is using-up Planet Earth at an alarming rate, and no generation appears to give any thought to the next.

The 10,000 Year Clock is designed to make us all think about an expanded sense of time, the massive generational impact of our decisions, and become more responsible. It’s about protecting Earth, our home.

Funny how these self-important rich fucks always say its the end of time or we are using up so much space on earth and the need to protect it - while they live their lives in utter

decadence, using and abusing every single resource and invention to squeeze out the most for themselves with not a care in the world, while chastising the public. They are all such hypocrites!! Hey Bozo, shitty name for a clock and TIME is UP for You!
