DST is basically a communal form of jet lag and should remind everyone that the day and rotation is anchored to noon unlike those ignorant of timekeeping who insist that one rotation is linked directly to circumpolar motion thereby attempting to bypass the Sun and specifically noon as a marker.

Rather than present the world with a narrative that anyone would be proud of by expanding the already known history of timekeeping back to the neolithic people and their monuments and then on to the Egyptians, I have seen nothing but a dour and sullen silence for people who cheer themselves as scientists. At least this time it is a political decision and ordinary people recognizing the importance of their body clock in tandem with the daily motion of the Earth.
