The article: https://www.politico.eu/article/norway-arctic-region-asks-eu-commission-for-26-hour-day/
Huh. Great idea.
Make a proposal without a plan or a feasibility study is peak management. Starting to understand how I end up with projects with very firm deadlines that are only vaguely defined and no one is sure if we have the resources on hand.
In this case I suspect this mayor simply made this proposition to get their town some free publicity. I am more sympathetic to these performative actions if they're just for the media attention.
When every decision is made by people alienated from every material or functional concern by like ten layers of abstraction, all decisions smell of recent severe skull deforming head trauma.
I hear they're also declaring that pi equals three.
Or 5
I assume this is just to get people use to the idea of algebra.
What the fuck? I can see pi being shortened to 3 for baby's first geometry problem, but 5?
They'll settle for three-ish
pi = 3.1±0.05
Gotta allow for a little uncertainty, just to absolutely ruin everything.
