I hope for a world where my views are considered dated and right-wing.
But I didn't think it'd be attachment to the concept of linear time that got me.
speaking of time, never forget when the french, god bless em, after the revolution changed the date system to be based around 10
That came up the other day and the Fremch Republican Calendar was cool as fuck, in particular the system for naming each day of the year:
The Catholic Church used a calendar of saints, which named each day of the year after an associated saint. To reduce the influence of the Church, Fabre d'Églantine introduced a Rural Calendar in which each day of the year had a unique name associated with the rural economy, stated to correspond to the time of year. Every décadi (ending in 0) was named after an agricultural tool. Each quintidi (ending in 5) was named for a common animal. The rest of the days were named for "grain, pasture, trees, roots, flowers, fruits" and other plants, except for the first month of winter, Nivôse, during which the rest of the days were named after minerals.
Would exponential time be better or worse? Imagine time speeding up or slowing down exponentially, that would be quite a trip tbh
Cyclical time gang! Abolish Debts start fresh!
Smash the clocks, smash taylorism, smash the time=money paradigm.
The Invisible Committee, also taking inspiration from Benjamin, applies this concept to resistance generally: “Every attempt to block the global system, every movement, every revolt, every uprising should be seen as a vertical attempt to stop time.” Here we might remember those rebels who spent the first evening of the July revolution of 1830 shooting out clock towers in Paris, or the (semi-mythical) anarchist Biofilo Panclasta who, in the final days of his life, is said to have escaped from an old folks’ home and climbed to the top of a clock tower where he “arrested the movement of the clock’s hands, which so carefully marked the passage of time.” When the monotonous rhythms of society’s clocks have ceased and the death march of progress has been brought to a halt, messianic time is the space where new forms of life can be birthed.
