Very interesting story concept--Not sure if I would want to live in the Long Now.

With all needs met and it seems the future and past having little or no meaning a person would have to reorient all senses. Makes sense that to be selected for the Long Now you would needs to start very young. Your story brought out many interesting notions.

Thanks for writing it and sharing it.

You provide new twists and insights on the old “what really makes us happy?” question. Great story, Owen, I loved it.
