@casualconversation l've always known that time is an artificial construct ever since I was told to sit down to study. As l grew up, l saw mechanical clocks getting replaced by battery clocks. Until l realised that the clock is actually being run from a centralised node, no matter where you're located.

What l'm realising now is that, the calendar too is being constructed from a centralised network, whether it's the question of the World Cup or a war.

I just shared my rambling with you all.

What's your thoughts/perspective/observation on this ???
