Metric Versus Imperial

It's actually not a mess. Quarts, Pints and Gallons are perfect for portioning. Inches and Feet are based off of Cubits, which come from human hands and feet. Yards, Leagues, Furlongs and Miles have their reason for existing, as they're actually intuitive for the way spatial distances work. Pound and Fahrenheit, too, 100 Degrees sounds hot, whereas 37 degrees doesn't, and pounds are a good weight standard based on the Roman Libra. It actually makes people more intelligent, having that. It requires more work to get it right, so it makes it more likely that people will do the math correctly. And it's based off of human things. It's also pretty. Just saying, George Orwell talks about it in 1984, one of his characters are complaining about the metric system, and would prefer pints and quarts. 

It's really based off of human needs, the Imperial System. Like our intuitive way of understanding things, in relation to our bodies. Meters are kind of sterile, but have their use I guess. Everything standardized into base 10. Like a Yard is more fitted to Phi, also, than a Meter. Because it's based on the human proportion, so it aesthetically looks more pleasing. A Mile, also, is more intuitive to human minds because it's based on yards, which are based on proportions made from the human body. It's more humane, and fits our minds better. People are creative, and certain things are fixed better in our minds. Imperial is more poetic.

I mean, actually, it might actually make a difference in the way our furniture and things work, too. Inches and feet are based off the human body, where meters aren't, so it develops more intuitive designs in everything we make.

I mean, for an astronaut in space, Meters might be better... but for a carpenter, trying to make something beautiful, Inches are better. Because it forms exactly to the human body.
