I think it was Bertrand Russell who had an essay on time and it was basically about how it used to be an imprecise thing. People on different sides of the same town might be running on time that’s 10 or 15 minutes apart, because it really just comes down to the nearest bell tower (usually a church or a town hall) and their timekeeping.
But then the railroad was invented and suddenly people needed to coordinate precise times not only across a whole town, but also between towns and cities that stood miles apart. So the railroad was the development that forced clocks to become precise so that time could be standardized.
No, no more clocks.
Like the Butlerian Jihad, we must expunge all clocks or they will again rule over us.

Yeah, but, see I think if we can change it to energy state, we can effectively say “nah, I didn’t vibe with it well” when we don’t show.
Any device that purports to quantize global energy states is the devil.
Man, I thought we were almost friends.
