Deep Time – Reconnecting with Past and Future Generations
From: Coming Back to Life
$2.30
People of today relate to time in a way that is surely unique in history. The technologies and economic forces unleashed by the Industrial Growth Society radically alter our experience of time, subjecting us to frenetic speeds and severing our felt connection with past and future generations. The Industrial Growth Society and the technologies it requires depend on decisions made at lightning speed for short-term goals, cutting us off from nature’s rhythms. Time, both as a commodity and an experience, has become a scarcity. It is a painful irony that we who have more timesaving devices than any culture in history are the most time-harried and driven.
