So this outsider’s perspective, from GQ’s Cam Wolf, is a very interesting take on the phenomenon, and the aforementioned World Economic Forum comparison is apt (a little too apt for my tastes).

Perhaps ironically, a bunch of dudes obsessed with time-keeping devices show an inability to stay on schedule.

It’s a good read, and you can read it here.
