I must have missed that quote, I seem to be unable to find that text in the post.

> This wasn’t phrased like “I prefer to use UTC time and here’s why I like it,”

I don't know, it kind of seems like it was:

> Here’s Adam’s story of how living by UTC transformed his productivity, and why it might work for you, too.

and

They're making it sound awfully optional if their intent was to put you in jail if you didn't do it.



I’m not sure how you missed it. It’s right there in a parent comment in this thread:

“Five years ago, I decided time zones should be abolished, and everyone should use one coordinated time.”

That quote is also in the article.

The original and the (mis)quote are not the same thing at all.


The latter is not intended to be a literal verbatim quote in the first place.
