I’ll have to chew on this for a while. It’s interesting to think about, especially when you consider how the blockchain works. Mining is about power, but also about time - the first block to fine the right hash is the one that’s added to the immutable ledger.
This also makes me think about efficiency, which can reduce both power and time….
On that note, I’ve typically thought of money as time in some sense, and that inflation is literally breaking the laws of physics… similar to how debt is an attempt to borrow time from the future.
Just some related rambling thoughts.
But I like the direction you’re thinking in. I’ve always hated how tests are times - I’ve always questioned whether or not competence should be measured so strictly on time. But I think there are good reasons for the idea behind it.
i have diluted a great amount of learning effort in fiat education, due to a strict scheduled curriculum. this system is such garbage. what i have learned by graduation was 10 years outdated and half was wrong. we are not told which half - gotta figure that out on our own. now i am catching up quickly, so it's alright in the end.
