Bringing the [Schrödinger's] cat dimension into the philosophical discussion of space time dimension is 'chef's kiss'😘

Cats are perfect for that, until daylight saving time come.

Now what a coincident... I've just added a note to this post (https://open.substack.com/pub/emilymale/p/how-to-slow-down-hurry-less-and-do?r=3ct934&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web). Emily's post is also about 'not saving time'. In my note I mention the book 'Momo' by Michael Ende... it's not about cats, but about time thieves and a small girl and a tortoise... you can find more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(novel)

Wonderful. Reminder why I have no cats, though my dogs wake me at sunrise. Somehow I like them doing this and sad when they sleep in. Putting up with A cat waking me with the sun? During the Zombie Apocalypse, maybe.

I'm with Kafka about forgetting all this nonsense.

My cat is too lazy to wake us up.

Franz had it right because sleeping is best for some conditions. I know when my Epilepsy was much worse as a child doctors told me to sleep in. It was REALLY important to my health. Even if it's less important today because my Epilepsy is gladly under control, rest is still important. The sad thing is that freedom costs money. If rent were free, if food were free, etc. it wouldn't cost but it does. Due to that, work is needed but I choose remote work because otherwise it could truly harm those in my health. Anyone could have a heartattack though, so really I think everyone should sleep in because their health matters too. They could really save their lives just by ignoring the craziness today and sleeping in.

Anyway, great post. Your owl is a wise one. Gotta love your posts Kent!

Wonderful in its simplicity and in particular listening to cats.
