it occurred to me the other day that the days of the week are just some mass hallucination that we all have decided to agree upon.
time of day: loosely related to where in its arc the sun is in the sky
day of month: loosely related to the phase of the moon in the sky
day of year: loosely related to where the sun rises and sets, and how high it gets in the sky
day of the week: historical and/or religious BS detached from any physical reality.
Are there unique days of the fortnight?
are there unique days of the quarter?
no
i propose that we abolish the 7-day week concept.
Every yesterday is passed and every tomorrow is ahead. Every day is today.
until then, my new toast is “Freitag!!”
