mycorrhizaWhat I REALLY want is to live a lifestyle that is less dependent on accurate clocks. Let my body decide when to sleep and wake up. Make plans to meet people “around midday,” or “dusk.” Lounge around while I wait for the other person to show up, and be unbothered because neither of us is in any hurry.
Graydon Hoare@mycorrhiza 10,000x YES the clock is the root of all evils in the modern age
@mycorrhiza (I mean sure money obviously but money is time and anyways money is way older and it didn't used to be so bloody accurate)
@graydon One way to think of it (that just occurred to me now but has probably been written about before by others): currencies, calendars, and clocks are among the most powerful tools that empires have used to impose order on their subjects.
@mycorrhiza it has indeed been written about by many people!
Misuse Case@graydon @mycorrhiza Some of us need accurate clocks to take our medications on time.
Jamie Gaskins@MisuseCase @graydon @mycorrhiza Do you need to know the time specifically? Or do you need to know it's time to take your medication?
Honest question. I don't have experience with medications with strict timing requirements.
Biggles 20X6!@jamie @MisuseCase @graydon @mycorrhiza it's usually to keep a regulated dosage level in the body. Not too much, not too little. Antibiotics for instance often have an 8 hr dosage duration. Or others with dangerous build up levels e.g. paracetamol/Ibuprofen.
Stimulants, antidepressants and steroids also need time measured dosage regimens
