Happy 'New Year'. So-called '2020'.

Happy 'New Year'.

So, here we are again. Another solar year is done.

Why is it that this coming solar year is called '2020'? The answer is that it is an arbitrary number, it actually has very little meaning. The very idea of '2020' is a human, religious creation, forced on us by power struggles, religious bigots, greed and wars. It is merely an expression

of time, one loaded with religious connotations. A.D- The year of our Lord? WTF? Even if you accept that it is based on a Christian mythological/religious event, it is inaccurate at best and made-up, divisive nonsense at worst. Gregorian - named after an ancient, brainwashed, politically motivated Pope.

We blindly accept that it is '2020' and very few people give it any thought. We do, however, need to think about these sort of questions. Let's put a little perspective on this. The Universe is 13.7 BILLION years old, the Earth 4.6 billion and Homo Sapiens evolved approximately 200,000 years B.P. If you have been brainwashed in to believing anything other than those FACTS, you are a #moron. Many cultures and religions have come and gone before the invention of the major religions that we seem to cling on to today. Different cultures have different calendars and maybe we need to agree on a global time-scale, one not connected to inaccurate, religious, made-up, so-called milestones. I'm not saying that we have to do it now, but we at least need to acknowledge the problems with our present system.

That is the sort of conversation I want to have. To think about things, to ask what they really mean. To realise that we have created many fallible systems, maybe even come up with something better and more suitable for an advancing society. That is why you will not find any reference to 'b.c' or 'a.d' here. They are add-ons that are not helpful to a rational thinking person. 'Before christ'. What nonsense. Made up drivel. 50,000 years 'before present' (B.P) makes much more sense. How do we make sense of the world when we are seeing it through such obviously tinted glasses. Religious superstitions pervade throughout our society in many ways and we need to be able to see past their limitations.

The Universe, the Solar System, the Earth, extinct lifeforms, species and Human Beings all exist on a timescale that is not connected to the made up concept of it being named '2020'. Understand that and you can start to see the depth of thought required to view our existence through logical eyes. Maybe then we can start to update our 'traditions', making them more suitable to our levels of advancement and forge #forward to create a better society. One not connected to religious bullshit.
