Another Year Zero freak. His vision is an anchro-libertarian dream. Instead of the 7 day week let each individual or institution define their own week. If Google wants a 10 day week like the French Revolutionaries let them have it. One slight problem is the author leaves out the impact of laws and regulations based on the 7-days week, for example, 40 hour work week.

Wasn't this proposed on SNL years ago?

Abolish homosexuality. It’s unnatural and unnecessary.

In the mid-1960’s, there was a proposal to add another day to the week. Maury Wills Day would be inserted between Friday and Saturday, creating an eight-day week with a three-day weekend.

It was around that time that the Beatles released a song entitled “Eight Days a Week.” They probably anticipated that if Maury Wills Day were added to the week, their song, being timely, would be a big hit.

Interesting about the French Revolution. I thought it was the Russians who played with the 10 day week, but apparently, they experimented with 5 day and 6 day weeks, trying very clearly to get the idea of God out of the calendar.

The French not only experimented with a 10 day week, but also decimal time: 10 hours divided into 100 minutes divided into 100 seconds.

Were there any practical advantages to decimal time, or was it just a matter of French decamania?

Yes, let’s just add some more chaos to the chaos.

There are few things more unnatural and less necessary than Slate. The author needs to be careful about eliminating unnecessary things.
