I'm loving it.

So it's the last Sunday in March.

We've had a full year on summertime.

Do I make permanent summer the new normal?

We think because we built the clock, we own the time.

But even after centuries of civilisation, our bodies are still living on the savannah, waiting for the sunrise.

You tug at that natural rhythm to catch an extra hour of light, the entire modern world gets cranky.

Maybe we should stop trying to bend time to fit our busy lives and start bending our lives to fit the time.

A massive thank you to Dr Artie Juggernauth and Rebecca Struthers.

Next time on Life Without, the tectonic titan that bridges our oceans and fuels the modern world is ripped right off the map.

Join me for a life without North America.

My mind starts to wobble at the edge of things.

Thoughts turn into mush.
