i don't think one or the other is strictly superior. there's been a lot of scientific research (paywalled, thanks, academia, or i'd link it) about how this changes our perceptions of time. there is yet to be any study into how this change in perception changes anything or everything else. that is what i am worried about. jettisoning something potentially useful and turning it into a lost technology, on purpose, before we even know what the consequeces are

link to a summary popular science article to get anyone interested started
