There is some truth to that, but this doesn't seem like the thing to focus on, if that's the goal. Surely there is a better subject to fulfill those needs.

Like... If we all forgot how to keep time, and we had to invent a new system of time keeping... Surely we could do better than what we have now.

You sound like someone who doesn't know how to read an analoge clock.

I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it ❤️

Probably not. I can read an analogue clock and I am no better or worse for it.

Jokes on you, because just that you learned to read analogue clocks, makes your brain more plastic. I am sure you know what that word means, but for anyone else, plastic means adaptable. The more things you learn the easier it is to learn more things.

LMAO yeah right. If it wasn’t for learning to tell analogue time, I wouldn’t have had enough brain plasticity to finish college, oh thank god for being able to tell round time. I think you might need to keep chipping away at your own brain plasticity friendo because I don’t think learning analogue time was enough for you.
