Never underestimate how easy it is to adopt bad standards 😅

Just look at the calendar that we all use globally without questioning it 📆

And that’s only one example of a bad standard being widely adopted 🌍

Having the same calendar worldwide is a good thing

But the calendar that was picked (Gregorian) is completely arbitrary

There are much better options like the “International Fixed Calendar” which has 28 days per month and 13 months per year

It’s not arbitrary. It just doesn’t match modern needs.

It depends on how you define the purpose of a calendar

Ideally a standard should be as generic as possible to serve as many purposes as possible

Even if Gregorian isn’t arbitrary… it’s biased towards a specific purpose
