RE: Why Didn't the USA Fully Adopt the Metric System?
Randall Carlson has some really cool lectures that give insight as to why the US is still on the Imperial system. All of the numbers in the system are present in ancient monuments. Measurements that seem random actually beautifully come together to equal the distance to the sun, moon, pi, phi etc. etc.
To the masons, this was extremely important, part of their "sacred" knowledge passed on from the ancients. Randall is also a mason, so he has a pretty in depth understanding of it. If you use gematria, everything always adds up to 9 when you compress it to. It also perfectly links up to sacred geometry and interdimensional polygon stuff thats way over my head. Pretty neat...
Thus, I assume it hasn't changed from imperial because of Americas strong masonic roots since the get go. Check out the lecture in this comment, pretty mindblowin if you ask me. It all started to make much more sense to me after I watched his lectures.
Ugh, Busy is being weird. Final point:

OK, I watched it. That guy was interesting. Maybe "9" will be the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Still, he sort of overlooks the fact that the numbers add up precisely because the same system was used. Anyway, I'll try to catch some more of them later. Thanks for pointing the video out.
Agreed, it was interesting. But I'd need to see more to be totally convinced. I enjoyed the video and think it's great that people explore these kinds of topics to see if there are patterns that would indicate more is beneath the surface.
Thanks, I'll watch it and check back. mind blown
Wow, I didn't expect to get such an esoteric answer! That's really fascinating. Conversely, measurements like "feet" and "tablespoons" are easier for average people to relate to.
Yea if you watch the whole playlist that I linked to, the imperial system is just the beginning, he ties it into a bigger theory of cosmic phases and offers compelling evidence of a great flood - of the Noah's Ark kind of scale. Must remember that DC was also designed from scratch to include similar kind of measurements if seen from above, and the DC monuments also align with all of these ancient monuments. The first White House Cornerstone was laid in a Masonic Ceremony by George Washington.
Sorry didnt mean to double post!
