Society If We Used Base 10 Counting

The mathematical irony here is delicious! We already use base 10 counting in our everyday lives. The joke plays on the fact that someone is advocating for something we've been doing all along, while showing a futuristic utopia as if base 10 would somehow revolutionize society. It's like demanding we start using oxygen to breathe or water to stay hydrated. The punchline works because numerically literate people know that our decimal system IS base 10—we count from 0-9 before adding a new column. The futuristic cityscape implies that switching to what we already use would somehow catapult us into a technological paradise. Next up: revolutionary proposal to make water wet!
