Just because measurements of time are arbitrary does not mean time does not exist. All measurements are arbitrary, for example distance in metres. 'Distance' as a concept definitely exists, and yet we measure it with an arbitrary unit. Years are actually a lot more grounded than measurements such as metres because 1 full rotation around the sun is very convenient, and makes a lot of sense as a unit. Yes, some countries use different measurements for time, but they also use different measurements for other, definitely real concepts (e.g distance, mass) Additionally, time is definitely real because it is not always constant. If a stationary clock that (for some reason) had eyes and a human brain observed a clock that was moving, it would see the moving clock's hands moving (very, very, VERY) slightly slower than its own. This has the funny effect that if two twins (imagine they are born at EXACTLY the same time) could 'end up' completely different ages if one went into a super fast spaceship.
Seasons are not arbitrary, they are decided by the tilt of the Earth (in comparison to the Sun). For exampme, in the Northern Hemisphere spring begins on March 20th because on that day the sun moves north of the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere its the opposite of the northern one. Also months are decided by lunar cycles. All calenders are innacurate but they try to best represent all of these movements (their successes vary and thats why the chinese calender has less days in a year than Gregorian)😊
I'm not sure if I understood this video correctly, but the argument here is time is not real because the quantities to measure it are made up by people? If so then I don't see how that makes sense. With that same logic we could argue that distance doesn't exist, because meters are arbitrarily made up. The same could be said for temperature or pressure. But we all know that it's not true, we can tell that between now and ten minutes ago some time has passed, just as we can tell that something one meter away is closer than something two kilometers away

"and the kids in my basement have nothing..." um...sir, can you please explain yourself???
I can't see, hear, touch, smell or taste time. Must be fake.
I bet the next video`s gonna be "Canada doesn`t exist. Here`s why."

Showing that AI channel having 42k subscribers reminded me how underrated you are, and showed me how overrated that channel is.
