Part Six: The Art (and Pop Culture) of Getting Long Time

In our final episode we dive into the role art and culture play in cultivating long-termism at scale.  Far from being window dressing, art and culture forms the operating systems of our world; it has the power to shift our collective identity.  Culture doesn’t just reflect societal norms, it has the power to change, iterate and manifest new ones.  We’ll meet the artists, creators and curators who are using time as both their medium and their message, and explore the role of creativity in shifting us to a long-term society.
