All the Clocks Are Wrong!

From time immemorial, people have preoccupied themselves to an ever-greater but more irrelevant degree with time. Instead of envisioning natural phenomena in which they themselves are implicated as timeless, they have attempted to get a grip on time to comprehend it, to impose time on life, or to tame life in a timely manner. In doing so, our species has not yet been able to come up with anything smarter than rendering time measurable, metricising it, in order to master it-a fatal error, which, with no let up, still deludes us today.
