Shifting from Short-Term to Long-Term Thinking

This chapter explores the flaws in our instinctual behavior, influenced by our hunter-gatherer past, that drive us to prioritize short-term gains over long-term consequences. The concept of 'horticultural time' versus 'machine time' is introduced to explain the difference between short-term and long-term thinking, with an emphasis on the need for a perspective shift and long-term thinking in our current inter-title period.
