St. Ego's Ivory Tower :: St.Ego on Circadian Rhythms and the concept of Time

a world or atmosphere where intellectuals engage in pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life. As such, it usually has a pejorative connotation, denoting a willful disconnect from the everyday world; esoteric, over-specialized, or even useless research; and academic elitism, if not outright condescension by those inhabiting the ivory tower.

"Circadian rhythms do NOT make a 24-hour day non-arbitrary. Our circadian rhythms are just as arbitrarily based on the amount of spin that this glorified dirt-clod maintains as the precious concept of "time" that you humans are so attached to. Your Einstein already told you that time could stretch and squeeze in the most astounding ways. And yet you persist in sticking to your 24-hour day and your solidarity of the specific parts of it to maintain the proper accoutrements(?) of a civilized society. Why should it matter what fucking time I want to eat breakfast food at, you over-ambitious apes?"
