zer0 SAYS: That darn Computer God! Those of us who have read Dec's previous rants by now know that its plans involve interbreeding Slovenic-Polish people with Jew- mulattoes, storing their brains in facilities on the lunar surface and implanting them with Frankenstein Controls at night. But who would have guessed it wouldn't stop there, but would also attempt to control and destroy all measure- ments, standards, history and written records by letting members of Congress (those bum gangsters!) enforce the application of the metric system? |

As you might have guessed from
its title, this rant deals with Dec's opposition to the process of metrication. Parts of his critique of the metric system deals with its lack of organic measurements, which is both a valid and common piece of criticism1. However, much of the critique otherwise expressed in this rant, especially concerning how metrication also "destroys all standards and values", leads me to suspect Dec might possibly have suffered from a misapprehension seemingly rather common among whacked-out people; namely that changing the name of an object, or the way in which something is classified or measured, also somehow changes the nature of the thing in itself 2. Obviously, this is not how the world works. You can call the distance between points A and B what- ever you want, but this does in no way mean that the actual distance in itself, outside of your own system of measurement, changes along with it - a concept which I am not entirely sure Dec grasped.
Then again, having now read this rant numerous times, I'm
equally unsure whether he meant that This rant features an audio
dramatization by
The Great Grottu. Enjoy it, you parroting puppets! |
