Who decided how time works — and why do so many people question it?
Today, we unpack calendar conspiracies, alternative timekeeping theories, and the history behind how modern calendars were created and standardized.
We explore why the calendar feels arbitrary, where conspiracy theories around time manipulation come from, and how religion, power, history, and control all intersect with the way we measure days, months, and years. From missing time theories to why questioning systems feels uncomfortable, this conversation lives at the crossroads of curiosity, skepticism, and cultural storytelling.
Not a doomsday spiral — just a thoughtful, slightly unhinged (in a fun way) discussion about why humans love questioning the systems we’re told are fixed.
If you’ve ever looked at the calendar and thought, “Who decided this?” — welcome.

Did, did you ever wonder why we have to start the new year in the middle of.
00:00:15.925 --> 00:00:20.425
Season first of all, but also like the middle of the most fucking depressing season of the year.
00:00:21.144 --> 00:00:22.385
