It seems gimmicky to me but I’m hoping to be proven wrong since the idea is interesting.

Around 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians, who lived in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), revolutionized how we perceive and measure time. They developed a sophisticated numerical system based on the number 60, known as the sexagesimal system. This unique system led to the division of an hour into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds, concepts that are still in use today.

The Sumerians' need for precise timekeeping was driven by their agricultural society. Accurate calendars were essential for planting and harvesting crops. They also needed to coordinate their complex religious ceremonies and administrative activities.

To aid their timekeeping, the Sumerians made significant advancements in astronomy. They observed the movements of celestial bodies and used this knowledge to create a lunar calendar with 12 months, which closely aligned with the agricultural seasons.

The division of the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds was a monumental achievement. These divisions were not arbitrary but were designed to be practical and easily divisible, reflecting the Sumerians' advanced understanding of mathematics.

This innovative approach to time had a profound impact on later civilizations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans, who adopted and further developed the Sumerian system. The legacy of the Sumerians' timekeeping system is evident in our modern clocks and calendars, demonstrating the enduring influence of their ingenuity on our daily lives.

Fascinating

I agree with you in principle but it does look like the US constitution has at least slowed down tyranny.

The UK seems to be speed running what we’re experiencing as a slower creep.

I would add a lot of people irl seem to view it similarly to their business having a website in 2012 - 2018.

They sigh and talk about it like it’s something new & confusing they’re going to have to learn about.

I think what happens is sometimes I successfully forget where I heard an idea and internalize it as my own.

I’m so fried I would probably be on my phone while sitting in one of those chairs 😭

“The settlement was inhabited from around 9500 BCE to at least 8000 BCE, during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.”

Absolutely incredible. nostr:note1cw3zaprftvnq6sqfa879ttsxm9tj2gj40c2vnaphu3fdu7699fesn8uu23

I’m not sure exactly where the point is but somewhere gov & megacorps seem to fuse together.
