    Cut to: Operating Room

    Anesthesiologist: “The patient is under. You can begin.”
    Surgeon: “Good. Remind me, about how long until it wears off? If we hit a snag, I want to know whether I have time to keep going or if we need to sew them up and try again later.”
    Anesthesiologist: “Time is a bourgeois construct, you fucking reactionary.”

    based and anti clock pilled

    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 cultures kind 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.
