Lessons from nuclear waste management could help us move beyond shortsighted climate thinking Before we were worried about fossil fuels and plastic pollution, nuclear waste stretched our minds to think about our place in geological time. In Deep Time Reckoning, cultural anthropologist Vincent Ialenti would have us look to the experts charged with finding a final resting place for this waste for inspiration. Rather than allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of humanity's effects on the planet, he proposes that we see nuclear waste storage as he does, as a case study for how to extend our intellects and acquire habits associated with extremely long-term thinking.

学会长期思考

核废料管理的经验可以帮助我们超越短视的气候思维在我们担心化石燃料和塑料污染之前，核废料让我们思考我们在地质时代的位置。在《深度时间计算》中，文化人类学家文森特·伊伦蒂 (Vincent Ialenti) 会让我们向负责为这些废物寻找最终安息之地的专家寻求灵感。与其让我们自己被人类对地球影响的巨大影响所压倒，他建议我们像他一样看待核废料储存，作为如何扩展我们的智力和养成与极端长期思考相关的习惯的案例研究。
