Established in 1996 as an American non-profit organisation based in San Francisco, the Long Now Foundation (LNF) has sought to start and promote a long-term cultural institution. Its aims are to provide a counterpoint to what it views as today's "faster/cheaper" mindset and to promote "slower/better" thinking.
The Long Now Foundation hopes to "creatively foster responsibility" in the framework of the next 10,000 years. In a manner somewhat similar to the Holocene calendar, the LNF uses 5-digit dates to address the Year 10,000 problem by writing the current year "02024" rather than "2024".
LNF's logo is a capital X with an overline, a representation of 10,000 in Roman numerals.[1]
