Imagining reinventing humanity by reinventing time

IconSocietal 

"As a species, we can never know where our true potential lies until we confront the systems that keep us tied to the past. And that is where the true adventure will begin" - Thomas Frey

What if our current clock-centric systems are a major contributor to human health problems, meaning that we live shorter lives, produce less, and are involved in more high-stress and high-anxiety situations simply because of our rigid dedication to a time system that governs every single moment of our lives?

And what if we could change this?

Imagining children - and adults - being given time and help with tools

The Tinkering School allows children to build, experiment, become deeply immersed in and committed to projects (decoration has a special and surprising role to play).  Do many mainstream schools (still) offer such opportunities?  If not, how can we help them do so?  Imagine too how many adults remain secretly and ashamedly short of confidence about their own practical skills, and how such an approach might help them too.
