Relationship with Time

Operator life: Quick tempo, constant follow-up, putting out fires, racing through the to-do list. Creative life: Long bouts of daydreaming, followed by short bursts of intense and inspired action.

Mirrors and clocks transformed society, but they’re so old that nobody questions them. Clocks created a culture of anxiety. Mirrors created a culture of narcissism.

Another essay I've been procrastinating on: clocks and calendars are tools imposed by rulers (consider what "to rule" really means) to measure, manage and control the world. it's a way of colonizing time, which is in many ways even more insidious than colonizing space https://t.co/gbMX3PuPku
