>>Time to Slow Down?
The thinker: Stewart Brand, founder, the "Whole Earth Catalog." The setting: the Long Now Foundation, San Francisco, California. The question: how can we make the world safe for Internet time?

Stewart Brand -- '60s whole-earth philosopher, '80s new-media chronicler, '90s new-economy consultant -- is stirring his coffee with a hunting knife, telling us that we ought to slow down. He's dressed comfortably, in jeans and a rough-hewn burnt-orange shirt, and he's talking about his current obsession -- time, speed, the ever-accelerating pace of life -- while sitting next to a prototype of what promises to be the world's strangest clock. ( That timepiece, called the Clock of the Long Now, will tick once a year, gong once a century, and cuckoo once a millennium. ) Brand, 62, is moving at his own sweet pace, pausing to think for 10 or 20 seconds before he answers each of my questions.

Stewart:
Someone on the Silicon Investor "Let's Talk About Our Feelings" thread shared your Fast Company interview with Mr. Weil.
I'm an entrepreneur who thinks we are on the right track.
Time really doesn't exist. Internet Time is just making this fact apparent to more and more people. Einstein would feel right at home.
An incredible thought, but everything has already been done - past, present and future. And even more incredible, we still have our free will.
The Internet is simply the first example of this Age of Light which is forcing us to embrace more risk in order to embrace the present in order to realize our power to do ONE thing: LOVE one another.
Don't worry about speeding things up. Our feelings of aggrivation and angst will give way to joy and happiness.
Things are coming along just as they should.

Hello:
Here's a brief walk away from time.
Internet Time is leading mandkind on a collision course with the present moment.
Shared over on Yahoo and SI this morning.
