My Plan of switching the world over

Let's face it, shoving the dozenal system down society's throat is a bad idea. This is because:

1. Most people don't know that numbers can be represented with a base other than ten.
2. Some people think that we only want base 12 to circumvent metrication (though, the imperial system would honestly be just as bad in base 12 as in base 10, because there are many factors of 5,7, and 11 in conversions).
3. The confusion of people learning ANY new system would be more prevalent in people's minds than its advantages.
4. It would be shocking for everyone.

it's like rolling a ball up a steep hill. Going from the least to most knowledgeable people is not going to work.

Instead, we should convert the most knowledgeable people first, then gravity will roll the ball down the hill.

The Plan

 First, we should convince all the mathematicians and physicists to start using dozenal.

Yes, numbers like pi and e are not represented any better in base 12 than base 10, but I would not think mathematicians would care.

Many mathematicians have described dozenal as "the optimal number system", so they would probably rather be system already. Therefore, they will likely switch over when we suggest for them to.

After we convince everyone, base 12 will be standard for all higher mathematics and sciences.

Because of this, dozenal will be taught in colleges, and eventually high schools.

Because we are bringing the knowledge of the system to so many people through education, people will wonder the need to teach 2 systems.

Governments have this concern too, and they will eventually change the education system where that dozenal is the sole system of the country's education system.

Lots of governments will do this, and eventually, decimal will no longer be the primary number system, but will be thought of similar to how roman numerals are thought of today.



This plan isn't garenteed to work, but is the most rational solution.
