#JeffBezos
Jeff Bezos spent $42 million building a clock inside a mountain... that's designed to tick for 10, 000 years.
It's called the Clock of the Long Now, and it's meant to
encourage long-term thinking. It ticks once a year,
chimes once a century, and a cuckoo pops out every
millennium. The whole thing runs on thermal energy and
sunlight, and it's hidden deep inside a mountain in West
Texas on Bezos' land.
It's part art, part engineering, part philosophy. Some people say it's a vanity project or a waste of money, others say it's a powerful symbol of thinking beyond our lifetimes .
