    I’m pretty sure that the morning people Venn circle has a shitload of overlap with the kind of people who are both neurotic control freaks and lacking in empathy and are thus vastly overrepresented in positions of authority to begin with.

    Then once they got into power, they enforced their preferences to the point that it’s now a prerequisite for power, which makes it even more likely to be perpetuated and so on and so forth until everyone whose sleep patterns don’t naturally conform simply die several years earlier due to all the added stress and poor health decisions required to adapt.

      I think they’re just a vocal minority in that group. I know plenty of chill daywalkers

        Seems like you misunderstood what I meant: I’m not saying that most morning people are neurotic control freaks who lack empathy.

        I’m saying that most neurotic control freaks who lack empathy, a small proportion of the population which is EXTREMELY overrepresented in positions of authority, are also morning people

        So yeah, seems we’re in agreement about daywalkers in general 😁

          Oh I see. I still think the opposite is contestable from my personal experience. I can name a few people in my immediate circle who are definitely night owls and match that apathetic personality profile. All anecdotal of course
