Nah but fr if you think about it, it's like clickbait innit but it just kinda means if no one was under work quotas/everyone did things at their own pace then there's less need for knowing what specific time it is. Deadlines wouldn't really exist, you'd just kinda get used to doing things by routine or sunlight. Indigenous cultureskind of do this, have a lot less focus on the clock and are happier for it.
There's this youtube vid called the Tyranny of the Clock that describes it really well
There is an interesting conversation about the invention of the clock and universal time, for sure. But the argument for getting rid of it boils down to let's return to a preindustrial society, which is not so interesting to me. You can't run a industrialized, global society on people doing whatever whenever based on vibes.
For sure, you can miss me with RETVRN shit. I don't have the capacity to adequately articulate this point any more, but it is interesting to think about how "time" as such is socially determined and how much power over our lives we ascribe it. We take it for granted as a kind of "natural" force, and yet we can affect it through human action (daylight savings fast and loose example.)
IDK, not a particularly useful conversation politically I'd say at least for the moment, but interesting nonetheless.
based and anti clock pilled

Yeah there actually is an interesting conversation to be had.
Like many people have said over the years "Dogs don't keep the time."
