More the insane authoritarian inefficiencies. Clocks are useful for some stuff. I would rather my fire fighters wore pants. On the job at least. Probably my chefs. I think id rather my programmers stuck to skirts shorter than their dicks and fur suits, but thats purely a selfish desire for working computer.

Any society that makes me look at a clock isn’t one I want to be a part of. Minutes are an illusion. Hours doubly so.

Baking without clocks is really hard.

Not really. In fact, due to pressure and temperature variances waiting until the dough has risen by double is better than using a fixed time. And you can smell when bread is done.

They baked without clocks for millennia.

They did, but 'baker' was like one of the highest skill jobs around for most of that. 'risen by double' is a rough rule for some kinds of leavening.

you can smell when

Sometimes. Often with especially thick loaves the cooking isn't done until a while after it's left the oven as internal heat continues to disperse.

And yet they did it with nary a clock in sight.

That makes it really fucking hard. Im already not good at that shit.
