13 months, 28 days per month = 364 days. New Year’s Day can be its own holiday separate from the rest of the year, and every fourth year it can be 2 days long.
But why? Binary is a better basis for numbering, when I was demo coding in assembler on the Commodore 64, I learned a technique to vastly speed up trig calculations: divide the circle into 256 degrees, you can use simple 8 bit integer math to blast out sine values.
I figure the same should go with time. It’s not like we still use our fingers to count.
The calendar has been intentionally mangled to obscure the solstices, equinoxes, etc. for the sake of religion. The shitty and arbitrary nature is a feature, not a bug. It’s emphasizes hegemonic control of our lives.
A similar thing is happening with time where solar noon, sunrises, and sunsets are obscured for the sake of capitalist work clocks.
The system doesn’t want our lives based on the natural world around us. It wants control.
They’re never going to “fix” this because it already works as designed.
Come up with a metric time system then. Also, fix the damn calendar.
The second is the metric time system: A day is 86.4 kiloseconds!
Jokes aside the French did come up with Decimal Time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time), but it didn’t catch on.
Never too late to catch on.

Now we just need to get Big Calendar on board.
Oh yeah? How about

Ok, that’s on me, I knew that existed. I meant adopt a metric time system.

Meanwhile, me counting to 4 in base two using my fingers.
Neat ! Gradians
There is. Now be a hero, lead the way and use it.

Why would you want to change the time system? The whole world agrees on the current system
