Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Mar 16, 2018No I do mean oral. As in oral culture in storytelling. Also aural, but I find the sybolism between aural clocks and oral cultures interesting.
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Mar 16, 2018Yeah, it's a solid association. Here's a particularly good musing on it https://bl.uk/20th-century-literature/articles/modernism-time-and-consciousness-the-influence-of-henri-bergson-and-marcel-proust…

Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Mar 16, 2018Yeah but less frequent can be sun-indexed: sunrise, sunset, noon give you 3 points
