Long Term Planning Quotes

“What we call selfishness is simply short-term thinking, and what we call selflessness is little more than long-term thinking in action.”
― Michael Mersault, The Deep Man (1)

“We stand at a civilizational inflection point. The period between now and 2050 represents not merely another business cycle or policy horizon, but a fundamental transition in how human societies organize, produce, govern, and sustain themselves. History demonstrates that civilizations reaching maturity face a stark choice: adapt through deliberate transformation or decline through institutional rigidity. The organizations and societies that thrive through this transition will be those that recognize this moment for what it is and prepare accordingly.”
― John A Gillam
