which will remain
completely unread until 2114
when the whole collection
will be printed on paper
made from a forest of trees
planted for this very purpose.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault
sets its vision even further,
housing millions of seeds
in an indestructible
rock bunker in the Arctic Circle
that's designed to last 1,000 years.
But how can we really think and plan
on the scale of millennia?
Well, the answer is perhaps
the ultimate secret to being a time rebel,
and it comes from the biomimicry
designer Janine Benyus,
who suggests we learn from nature's
3.8 billion years of evolution.
How is it that other species
have learned to survive and thrive
for 10,000 generations or more?
Well, it's by taking care of the place
that would take care of their offspring,
by living within the ecosystem
in which they're embedded,
by knowing not to foul the nest,
which is what humans have been doing
with devastating effects
at an ever-increasing pace and scale
over the past century.
So a profound starting point
for time rebels everywhere
is to focus not simply on lengthening time
but on regenerating place.
