Today, in an age driven by the tyranny of the now, we rarely stop to consider how our actions will affect future generations. With such frenetic short-termism at the root of contemporary crises, the call for long-term thinking grows every day - but what is it, has it ever worked, and can we even do it? Leading public philosopher, Roman Krznaric is at ALSO to reveal the profound ways in which we can all learn to think long-term, exploring how we can reawaken oft-neglected but uniquely human talents like 'cathedral thinking' that expand our time horizons and sharpen our foresight. Roman’s book, ‘The Good Ancestor’ is published in July 2020 and be pre-ordered from the Also Festival website.
