Time blindness is just an excuse for people who refuse to look at a damn clock once in a while and don’t give a shit about the people they affect by this disrespect.
Accurate clocks were only widely available and relevant to anyone following the growth of railroads less than 200 years ago.
And YOU apparently think all humanity evolved an equal sensitivity to the passage of it, and that everyone else should be in just as much of a damn hurry as you.
That’s funny, because every time I’ve been in a group effort at uni or the office, the late folks were the neurotypicals while those with ADHD showed up early.
Which is a polite way of saying, you’re full of shit, a fucking atrocious human being, and you statistically make less money than me who has a literal disability 👍
Edit: and of course it’s a lemm.ee fascist. Typical.
Imagine being colorblind and someone trying to explain what purple looks like. Seeing purple is not a skill, either you have the receptors in your eyes or your don’t. The ability to sense time is similar. It is not a skill.
Damn, I used to believe that because I could do something it was possible if not easy for everybody else to do that thing. I’m ashamed to admit that I felt that way well into my thirties.
Then (way, way too late in my life) I somehow realized that not everyone was the same as I am, and I learned a little thing called empathy.

Not wanting my time wasted waiting for someone who can’t be bother to think about how their lateness affects others, doesn’t mean I’m in a hurry.
Ok, doesn’t change the fact that clocks weren’t available to the layman until a couple centuries ago.
We did not evolve to be sensitive to the passage of time.
It’s a thing whether you like it or not. Your preference for punctuality is a learned behavior, not something that everyone else has.
It’s a skill which can be practiced. Making excuses to avoid doing that doesn’t help anyone.

I go where the phone reminders command.

Yes, and it’s a skill that not everyone else values the way you do. It doesn’t make you better than anyone. It probably increases your stress level.
