I don't think Celsius can be considered less arbitrary, and the anthropocentricity of Fahrenheit has its advantages. I would honestly be happy to give up Celsius if in exchange the US et.al. moved over to metric distances.
That then would be the foot in the door for eventual full metric conversion!
- richrichardsson 5y agoI agree Celcius is also entirely arbitrary, any scale would be really, but when 95% of the world's population uses Celcius (and the metric system has similar worldwide usage) perhaps it's time for them to go with the consensus.
