The magic and mystery of Antarctic Ice was brought to life for Long Now Boston members and guests in a spellbinding presentation by Dr. Marissa Grunes, broadcasting from McMurdo Base in Antarctica, with special guest Catherine Walker of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.  

At our event on December 6, 02022, Professor Kieren Setiya noted that longtermism is a new iteration of utilitarianism that argues against geographical and temporal partiality.  It brings attention to global long term responsibilities, but overemphasizes hypothetical future goods  at the expense of current harm, and fails to address the negative impact of systemic injustice.

On October 6, 02022, Long Now Boston welcomed Jill Kubit, co-founder of the nonprofit, DearTomorrow, for an interactive workshop on changing our climate change future.  The  workshop was held at the Boston Public Library during ‘Climate Day’ of the Cambridge Science Festival.

Long Now Boston and The Maintainers came together to present a conversation melding our two key concepts: long-term thinking and the maintenance mindset. This event was led by Maintainers Movement Fellow Tona Rodriguez-Nikl, and was hosted within the Long Now Boston conversation series.
