LOW IS SLOW

Stewart Brand and Paul Saffo, founders of The Long Now Foundation, discuss the Pace Layers framework for how a healthy society functions, which Stewart introduces in his book The Clock of Long Now (01999).

The Pace Layers idea is illustrated by a simple diagram showing six layers which function simultaneously at different speeds within society, ranging from Nature (the lowest and slowest) to Fashion (the fastest, showed at the top). As the layers progress, Stewart proposed, their differing speeds help make a society more adaptable.

Based on this idea, cultures can be robust and healthy precisely because these layers come into conflict. Each level should be allowed to operate at its own pace, safely sustained by the slower levels below and kept invigorated by livelier levels above.

The Long Now Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to making long-term thinking more common.

Tendemos a aprender y medir riesgos a partir de nuestras experiencias, pero nunca hemos vivido nada parecido al cambio climático.
