The following is not an open question, but feel free to discuss it:

1.26 CAD = 1 USD

1 KG = 2.2 lbs

72 C = 161 F

Money, Weight, Temperature. Simple numbers that define our lives. How to stay alive by how much currency we have or not, how to keep healthy depending on how high or low our weight it and how to live on this planet based on the ever changing temperature of the day. However depending on where you live, there is a system and a language developed that tells you which numbers are the right ones. Now if you were living a life that requires you to go all over the world then you can't rely on a certain fixed system because it is different each time. However thanks to the simple math as seen above, a small example just based on how USA and Canada view their systems it makes it easy to navigate. Even fun when you realize one half of that system looks like it's worth more than the other half. However here's the lingering question. Why does each and every one of us rely on the individual fixed systems that originated in either the respective countries or annexed from the countries that used to rule over them? Why do only some rely on Metric, while others rely on imperial? Why do some rely on Celsius while others rely on Fahrenheit? Why can't there be a single universal unit of measurement so that no one can be confused?

The answer is simple. Through these numbers, we have also been brainwashed.

For context on what has been going on here's my explanation. I am a firm believer of Mind over Matter. The idea that thoughts shape reality and that what we think, good and bad effect the world. Whether we act on these thoughts or the reality simply shifts to them. Sounds crazy I know, but I'll give an example.

Right now it is 27 Degrees Celsius in my neck of the woods. Up until now I didn't know the Fahrenheit equivalent of that number, but a lot of people I know did. I often walk around the summer in heavy clothing and I barely sweat. At least until tells me I should be sweating. We all hear it "Aren't you boiling hot in that outfit?" All I can think of is "It's 27 degrees it's not so bad out." Then I looked it up in Fahrenheit: 80.6 Degrees.

It took me a while to realize, but I believe, that because I saw that number in Celsius, I saw it as a small number regardless. I saw it as no big deal as a result. Because I think it didn't bother me, it didn't bother me. It made me realize what if that applied to all numbers? What if due to my focus on Kg rather than lbs, I suddenly felt less fat. What if the Americans focused more on CAD than USD they felt more richer. What if we could break the brainwashing we've been conditioned to believe is the true way to live, by that we probably would lead better lives? I'd say we become a step further to becoming better human beings.
