Now apply that same logic to how we write our numbers. Duodecimal notation makes very clean multiplication tables and makes arithmetic easier to learn.

I'm a twelve maximalist. Let's convert SI to duodecimal prefixes. One kilometer should be 1728 meters (of course that's 1000 in duodecimal). One centimeter should be 1/144 of a meter.

I keep hoping for a chance to welcome some highly composite overlords.
