Outlast Life

The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

William James

“Hours away from any airport, deep in the heart of the Sierra Diablo mountains along the Texas-Mexico border, a 500-foot-tall clock is taking shape.” It is “The Clock of the Long Now” . Its ticks and tocks will happen every year compared to the seconds our regular clocks tick. And it’s supposed to do that for the next 10,000 years, which is why it’s also known as the “10,000 Year Clock”.
