What we’re about
The Long Now Boston Meetup Group is organizationally independent but philosophically aligned with The Long Now Foundation in San Francisco. Recently the Boston Meetup Group received permission to form an independent non-profit in the Boston/Cambridge area using The Long Now Foundation name. A first for Long Now. Stay tuned for developments over the next many months as Long Now Boston begins it new chapter.
The Long Now Foundation was founded in San Francisco in 01996 (www.longnow.org). As stated on their website: Long Now was established "to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long-term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide a counterpoint to today's accelerating culture and help make long-term thinking more common. We hope to foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years."
The Long Now Boston effort was founded by Bill Davison in 02015. We started the Long Now Boston Meetup Group in January 02016. We now have an active Steering Committee and Events Planning subgroups. Our program year typically extends from September through May with an occasional summer event.

How Longer Healthy Lives Change Everything
The Foundry Cambridge, 101 Rogers St Cambridge, MA 02142, Cambridge, MA, USNOTE: You must register and buy tickets by clicking this Eventbrite link; RSVPing via Meetup will not get you a ticket.
How will the world change when 100 is the new 60? What profound changes to work, families, healthcare and culture can we expect?
Human longevity is undergoing a profound shift, and the possibility of routinely reaching 100 years of age is poised to reshape institutions, expectations, and everyday life. Join David Barzilai, MD, PhD—Founder and CEO of Barzilai Longevity Consulting, longevity physician, and Harvard Medical School lecturer—for a deep look at the scientific foundations of extended healthspan and the sweeping transformations it may bring to work, population dynamics, family structures, healthcare systems, culture, and more.
Dr. Barzilai will explore the societal opportunities and challenges that arise as communities adapt to a world where people live longer—and live well—focusing on implications rather than personal lifestyle guidance.
A discussion and informal networking with fellow Deep Time thinkers will follow the talk. Join the conversation and be part of the transformation!1 attendee
