I do this because of my feeling that something about our collective experience of time is now undergoing a profound transformation.Ī look at a few notably longsighted ventures that have already sprouted up around the world can give us a sense of this transformation's character. Now, though, I'm going to take a step back and think about deep time - our very distant future - in a more holistic, speculative and global way. I explored how these experts dealt with geological, ecological and climatological changes that might occur over the coming millennia. The past two Sundays I reflected, here and here in 13.7, on my anthropological fieldwork among experts developing a Safety Case supporting what might, in Finland in the early 2020s, become the world's first working geological repository for high-level nuclear waste.
