Change the clock twice a year, or else some places will need to adjust their operating hours.
Going back to permanent Standard Hours has been tried before, and failed after two years.
What is the issue about the light & night that we keep forgetting?

Wink instead of nodding. Nod instead of whispering. Whisper instead of speaking. Speak instead of writing. Write instead of brain exploding.

Complexity
This image was once used to illustrate the subject areas for our WordPress-Cupertino Meetup group. Its many Layers of Complexity, before full-site editing (FSE), was introduced in version 5.
Now, knowledge of such complexity need not bother the minds of today. Intelligence has been made artificial.

- Psychological safety is the enemy of urgency, progress, orbital velocity.
- Musk’s preferred buzzword is hardcore.
- Discomfort is a good thing, a weapon against the scourge of complacency.
- Vacations, work-life balance, days of mental rest, are not his thing. Let that sink in.
No other natural substance has such a complex aroma associated with so many contradictory descriptions; however, it is usually described abstractly as animalistic, earthy and woody or something akin to the odor of baby’s skin.

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
The closer men came to perfecting for themselves a paradise, the more impatient they seemed to become with it, and with themselves as well.
They made a garden of pleasure, and became progressively more miserable with it as it grew in richness & power & beauty; for then, perhaps, it was easier for them to see that something was missing in the garden, some tree or shrub that would not grow.
When the world was in darkness & wretchedness, it could believe in perfection and yearn for it.
But when the world became bright with reason & riches, it began to sense the narrowness of the needle’s eye, and that rankled for a world no longer willing to believe or yearn.
Well, they were going to destroy it again, were they – this garden Earth, civilized & knowing, to be torn apart again that Man might hope again in wretched darkness.

Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!
Imagine first that the present is past, and second, that the past may yet be changed & amended.

Ideas are like stars; untouchable. But choose them as guides like a seafaring man on a desert of water follows them to destiny.
Carl Schurz, human
