We have 10 fingers and that's probably why base10 is somewhat naturally wired into our brains. I'd like to remove 2 fingers and go to base8 but can't quite settle on the right ones. Thumb is out of the question because it's what sets us apart, lets us use tools and so forth. Next finger up is usefull for pointing, not getting interrupted while on the phone and most importantly pulling triggers...seems valuable enough. Finger #3 has too much social importance due to it's use as a universal sign of diagreement. Finger #4 seems to be of mostly sentimental value if you're married I could see this one as a viable candidate. Finger #5 is freakishly small compared to the rest but it is also very valuable for swearing. So I think I'd propose removing both fingers #4 on birth from here on out or I suppose we could keep it as is. Occam's razor would suggest keeping it as is but could also be used to cut off the fingers. Too many choices...which makes me wonder if binary isn't the way to go after all.
