Most of us walk around assuming time is just there. A fact. Something a clock measures the same way for everyone. It isn't. Your brain is quietly building your sense of time right now, out of attention, memory, a little bit of fear. The language you grew up speaking already decided which direction your future sits in. And somewhere along the way, without ever asking you, your culture decided how urgent tomorrow feels.

These talk and workshop digs into all of that. Why time stretches and shrinks depending on what you're feeling. How entire civilizations, from the Aztecs to the Aymara to indigenous communities in Brazil, built completely different relationships with the future than the one most of us inherited. And why our brains, and even our senses, seem to struggle so much with a crisis that seems to be unfolding slowly instead of all at once, such as the climate crisis.

Then comes the harder question. What would it actually take to think further ahead than we're wired to, and to build something that can hold up in a future we can't fully see yet?
