02/10/25: Simple. Two reasons.

1) I research historical events and constantly note / write down when things happened. In drifting back and forth between past, present and future, it is necessary to be constantly aware of what the current relevant dates are.

This avoids becoming disorientated ("schedulers' disease").

An aside: Last summer, someone prompted by our vile legacy media --- that we now know has been buried up to their necks in USAID cash --- called Italy's prime minister Giorgia Meloni a "fascist."

The person who said this would be presumed to be reasonably well educated.

I asked him five simple questions about Fascism ("What year did Mussolini seize power in Italy?," etc.). He went 0-5.

These are the people who snidely bark, "Google it!" Of course they have to Google it. They've been systematically trained to farm out their brains to keyboards.

2) The far more important reason is that billions of people have sacrificed their brains (and their souls) to their cell phones and computers.

I despise such people, and have no intention of following these shiftless sheep who think that someone out there in Zuckerberg Heaven is always going to take care of such "details."

I hope this answers your question. Have a good week.

P.S. What are the odds that Columbia University was bribed with USAID $$$ to rig the "Trump" Pulitzer prizes for the NY Times/WaPo?

Use explicit timestamps all you want; I have no objection, but the interface for the comments section here isn't controlled by Google or Mark Zuckerberg. In any case, virtually all online comments are fleeting, so I don't personally see a need to treat them as permanent record of one's thoughts.

By the way, despising billions of people isn't healthy for one's mind and soul. I don't mean that sarcastically.
