Individual sustainability is a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of broader sustainability discussions. It involves cultivating harmony, interconnection, and high self-awareness across one's values, thoughts, and behaviors.

This includes maintaining increasing control over one's physical, emotional, social, philosophical, environmental, and intellectual well-being. Key skills for individual sustainability are awareness, motivation, and intentional self-development, coupled with a value system that recognizes the interconnectedness of all global biological systems and humanity's appropriate place in the natural world.

Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup method and author of *The Lean Startup*, will discuss his upcoming book, *Incorruptible*. He posits that all commercial and civic infrastructure, though seemingly immutable, can be reinvented. Ries will explore how founders and leaders can build incorruptible organizations designed to last for decades and tangibly support human flourishing.

His Long Now Talk, facilitated by Denise Hearn, will delve into architecting accountability and governance mechanisms that outlive their creators and remain resilient across generations. Ries emphasizes imagining institutions future generations will thank us for, ensuring today's organizational choices become liberating structures rather than inherited constraints. His new book, *Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…and How Great Companies Stay Great*, is available May 28, 2026.

Eric Steinberger, co-founder and CEO of ClimateScience and a former MIT/Facebook researcher, emphasizes innovation in solving climate change. He likens climate solution builders to astronauts in a "moon landing" effort, arguing we often mismeasure progress.

A self-taught prodigy, Steinberger began studying physics and computer science online at 14. By 21, he had published two papers and held research roles at MIT, Facebook AI, and other universities, all without an undergraduate degree.

Recognizing online education's impact, he founded ClimateScience to empower the next generation of climate problem-solvers. This perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx.
