The Colonization of Time
It's fascinating how morality is built into this sense of time around then too because it's so linked to Christian missionaries and if you see the rest of the world as unsaved. In that same book, The Colonization of Time, he quotes a mission publication where they have this long paragraph. It's basically cultural propaganda that's like, how many hours do you have in God's bank? That just says so much about psychological attitudes toward time that are so deeply part of my makeup. I'm morbidly fascinated by thinking about how that culturally and historically specific way of thinking sort of moved inside me.
