This will be done in 3 parts, with a dozen films each. (Parts 1 & 2 will be available to gen-pop, but part 3 will be for supporters of the DHP on Patreon & Subscribestar.)

Ep. 0198: Fµ©!≤ Daylight Savings! (The DHP vs DST)

Subtitle: “Daylight Savings as a Rebellion Against Nature.”

Join CJ as he discusses:

  • Where the idea of biannual time changes & Daylight Savings Time (DST) came from historically. (Hint: As is often the case, Woodrow Wilson bears some of the blame.)
  • Some of the problems, costs, and even dangers of DST
  • The origin of standardized time zones (which originated more in the private sector) as a contrasting case study
  • The idea of DST as a rebellion against nature

  • A recent NBC News article on the controversy surrounding the time change (Note how, among opponents of the time change, the politicians favor year-round DST, while actual scientists & medical people support year-round Standard Time — why, it’s almost like politicians don’t give a shit about science or human health & well-being when it goes against what they want!)
  • Save Standard Time (a website & organization dedicated to making Standard Time year-round for the sake of human well-being)
