A closed mind matches socks.

If your mind is free of limitations.

No, that also doesn’t matter.

You didn’t even write your own kernel, sad!

Marx didn’t anticipate information technology. Because of IT, we are moving to a new regime of humanity. The automation of action is part of the reason, but the most important is the ability of any group of people to communicate. The control of broadcast underpins the prior structures of power. Now, anyone can reach everyone, and we are watching the power of the state erode in the rise of fascism globally.

Yes.

It was fairly fragmented but hardly a whole lot of nothing.

Your counterpoint to UBI is a higher minimum wage? Yes, lets ensure everyone must work for the capitalists; that will free us. Wow, you are the poison pill.

Yes exactly, it’s all part of the MCU (movie cinematic universe)

Sure, then fix it to one character.

If your start time has a 4 hour swing, how could you just look up your local time and make a choice to call?

Just coordinate via asynchronous communication to schedule a time. It’s not 1935.

You: “hey uncle text me when it would be a good time to have a call”

6 hours later

Uncle: “hey i just got up, lets have a call at 4:50”

You: “thats a bid late for me, im in bed by 4:00, what about 3:30?”

Uncle: “sure sounds great”

No one needed to know anything about when people wake up, where on earth they live, etc.

Exactly, it always requires knowing your uncles habits.

No, timezones don’t make sense everywhere, you clearly have not lived on the edge of timezones where the shift from what would be local time is notable.

Yeah, which makes the points, it’s non trivial to know when to contact people with timezones anyways. The time zone only adds more complexity.

Napoleon undid parts of the metric system, including metric time and calendar. Napoleon was an opportunist and played both the revolutionaries and the reactionaries.

That’s a pretty good analogy, but it’s Fortran and B-52. Fortran is very good at what it does to this day. Cobol was never good.

The python in monty python does refer to the snake.

The Greeks specifically build water clocks with variable length days.

The reason for 12-hour clocks is most cultures worldwide have variable length hours of over a year. For Western times this comes from Greeks who had 12 day and 12 night hours. Early water clocks in antiquity would attempt to make that adjustment automatically.
