Not since Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has there been so genial an integration of physics and philosophy.“ Which is exactly the point but the difference though is that, while A Brief History of Time was a general guide to the universe with only one chapter dedicated to time, this book on the contrary is the complete package...🕐
so-soThis book was definitely a mixed bag. The story in itself wasn't bad. I enjoyed what little we knew about Jeremy; his storyline felt so different from anything I've ever read before. However, the anti-medication stance was a bit old-fashioned. The monks are kind of a racist caricature, which isn't helping the book. Susan was especially unpleasant in this one as well. I am not a fan of her, and this installment isn't doing her any favors.
The way Asian coded people are represented here is kinda racist. Not gonna lie 😬

In July 1998, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics, INFN, decided to make its researchers start clocking in and out of the lab. They did not know the backlash this would inspire: not only at the institute but also across the world. Hundred of scientists around the world wrote in support of the INFN professor‘s complaints: saying that the book was needlessly bureaucratic, insulting, and out of step with how the researchers actually worked.
Even after a drastic rise in wage labour after the Civil War, it was compared to prostitution or slavery, sometimes by white workers wanting distance between sex workers and enslaved Black people. But Black free people too noticed the similarity of a hireling to a slave. Richard L. Davis, a miner, maintained that “none of us who toil for our daily bread are free.” “At one time we were chattel slaves, today we are, white and Black, wage slaves.”
Nanni notes the colonial missions tried to induce people not simply to work, but to work in a regular and uniform manner for a specific period of time per day. This view of abstract labour hours could not have been more alien to task-oriented communities, who recognized their activities based on different ecological and cultural cues, such as the flowering and rooting of certain plants, and where things took however much time they took. /1
