Instead of fighting over the best arbitrary unit system we should all sit together and create a truly logical system that makes conversions - even between units - as simple as possible.

To do that, we first need to switch our number system from Base-10 to Base-12.

A metric system in Base-12 would be clean and elegant. It would play nice with geometry, trigonometry, unit circle, angular measurement, etc.

Base-10 is fucking cursed. If some Base-12 aliens came here tomorrow, they'd look at our number system like we'd look at Base-7 or Base-14.
