The 10k-Year Clock Is a Waste of Time

An article in WIRED that opines that the 10,000 Year Clock being built in association with The Long Now Foundation is a waste of time. Ho hum, you think. But on a social ecology level this story is massive. I&#x27;ve been following the Whole Earth &#x2F; Stewart Brand &#x2F; Kevin Kelly &#x2F; Wired phenomenon since the 1970&#x27;s. For WIRED to publish an article ridiculing the 10,000 Year Clock is like Planned Parenthood opining that New York&#x27;s new abortion law is an offense against the sanctity of human life.<p>The only sense I can make of this is that the animus against Jeff Bezos trumps everything.
