Seven generations thinking

Seven generations thinking, a principle from Indigenous governance, extends decision-making consequence to approximately 140 years forward, asking what your choices do to people you'll never meet. It's a practical antidote to short-term optimization by making the unimaginably distant suddenly relevant.
