Seventh Generation Versus Quarterly reports --- Emerson was familiar with the American Indian culture disposition towards the environment. This is expressed in the Seventh Generation Principle.

This principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future. A sound philosophy in my opinion.

Definitely this is an improvement compared to planning next generation outcomes relying on decisions guided by corporate quarterly reports.
