Also works for 'religion'.

@spacemagick @Jyoti

Very few people have really understood the lessons shared by Ray Sherwin in his work, "The Book Of Results".

@spacemagick @Jyoti also works for timekeeping, marriage, the value of money, and the designation of Pluto
@kaito02 @spacemagick @Jyoti Objection your honor, Pluto's status as a planet is an undeniable fact.

@Zimme83 @kaito02 @spacemagick @Jyoti Well, "planet" is just a made-up word. Who needs proper communication anyway? Life is pointless, am I right? Am I right?!?

We should all just go back to the 14th-century workshop model. No, scratch that—that still involves "labor." Ugh. We should go even FURTHER back, living as free, nameless peoples of the earth. We don't need agriculture, industrialization, or metallurgy to support 8 billion people, right? RIGHT?

@benroyce @Zimme83 @kaito02 @spacemagick @Jyoti 13 Planets 🙂
Ceres, Eris, Haumea and MakeMake. It’s a great book with National Geographic branding:

I find the Pluto system is fascinating on its own.
13 Planets by David A. Aguilar | Penguin Random House Canada

Two years ago, Pluto left. Then it came back and brought Ceres and Eris with it. But wait, now there's Humea and MakeMake too! The recent actions of the International Astronomical Union have confused everyone (astronomers included) and put every solar system book out of date. In 2008 we published 11 Planets to stay on the leading edge of this astounding shift. Now that additional changes have been made, we will once again join forces with author/illustrator David Aguilar of the Harvard Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory, to bring everyone up to date on the new 13 Planets.

Ceres was the first. Ceres will get the respect it deserves! 🤭

@Jyoti the question is not so much whether they're made up, it's how many actual people have died and how much was destroyed in efforts to defend or delete the made up idea of a particular nation.

In the case of Narnia, the number is likely either zero or very close to it.

For the other kind of made up country, not so much.

@PaulDavisTheFirst @Jyoti Say less friend, I am all the way down for my bloodless country Narnia. No blood spilled making or maintaining it and no real atrocities committed in its existence.

I couldn't be more down for that shit

@Cowardly_wizard @Jyoti Oh, to be clear, I am not ranking the unfought-over countries above or below those fought over.

There is a bit of a difference though. Definitely down for less fighting over anything.

@PaulDavisTheFirst @Cowardly_wizard @Jyoti The difference is land. Land can be not made up, unlike the labels we give it, and things we do in it or on it.

(Unless you're a sollipsist, but then there's not much any of us, mere mirages in your mind, can do. :) )

That's me overexplaining the joke, but I feel we're way past that looking glass. 🤷

@Jyoti from the ladybird book of anarchy?

@Jyoti

*laughs in anarchism*

@Jyoti

"What's your favorite country?"

"Narnia."

"But that's made up."

"YOU're made up, a figment of my imagination."

@Jyoti taxes seem pretty real tho
@Jyoti Ochrasy is nice this time of year.
