Why are Americans so backwards that we refuse to transfer to the metric system?

Wow user very political

Because we're not so academically handicapped that we need to rewrite all our measurements to the simplest degree to accommodate the intellectual failures in the world.

Patrician = remembering there's 5,280 feet in a mile.
Plebeian = remembering there's 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

Having two number systems prevents the concept of "number magic". It helps teach the normies that numbers are intangible values until define them with our perceptions. eg: a "foot" is roughly as long as a foot.

the metric system is like a constructed language for numbers and measurement. it's artificial and it barely does a better job than traditional methods. Did man reach the moon with kilos and metres or with inches and pounds?

Without two competitive systems, we lose a big part of our culture. We lose normies to the false belief that numbers are grounded in reality. We lose the real meaning of mathematics.

Now how many feet are you traveling your 73 mile trip?

>multiply the length value by 5280
>smart people would half the number then multiply by ten thousand and add a 10% fudge factor

385000 feet. How'd I do?
>385440 feet

accuracy of 99.89%

It's funny because american elites like to call soldiers idiots but they all learn the metric system. Meanwhile they're scared of losing inner city and elderly voters by actually changing the measurements.

5280*73 = 350000 + 15000 + 14000 + 600 + 5600 + 240 = 379000 + 6440 = 385440

Takes 5 seconds if you're not a brainlet

Took a while for that reply, user...

And more importantly.. why do Americans refer to milliards as "billions"?

Because the metric system isn't any better in everyday life.

Why the fuck do I care how many feet I traveled in a 73 mile trip?
