Advantages of GPC
Below is an overview of the advantages of GPC. UPDATE: The NATO Alphabet is now used so extensively that a link to it is required. CLICK HERE for the NATO Alphabet.
Less Code
Less Code → Less Energy → Less Suffering
When I started living on GPC every day, the very first thing that hit me was how much less code everything actually needs.
Bitcoin is literally just a piece of software—yet its proof-of-work mining alone consumes more electricity than the entire nation of Argentina.
Ethereum used to be even worse (pre-2022 it burned more power than the Netherlands).
And even though it’s now basically green after The Merge, the broader point still stands:
Inefficient foundations create massive waste at planetary scale.
The root cause of so much of this waste?
The Gregorian calendar.
Date and time logic is some of the buggiest, slowest, most bloated code in existence—precisely because months are uneven, weeks drift, leap years are irregular, and nothing ever lines up cleanly.
Library after library is stuffed with thousands of special-case exceptions just to keep the damn thing from breaking constantly.
Switch every phone, server, and app to GPC foundations and you instantly delete millions of lines of unnecessary code.
Storage drops.
CPU cycles drop.
Energy consumption drops.
Heat drops.
Hardware lasts longer.
The entire cloud shrinks.
The planet breathes easier.
The suffering caused by bad systems is almost invisible.
Americans struggle with manufacturing precision and still wonder why European and Asian engineering feels cleaner, simpler, more reliable.
The answer is brutally simple: they use metric. We use imperial.
One system eliminates conversion errors and half-sizes.
The other forces them everywhere.
French shoemakers invented the Paris Point (⅔ cm increments) for one reason only: to kill half sizes forever.
Result: simpler production, less waste, better fit, lower costs.
Bad calendar = bad code = bloated software = unnecessary energy burn = environmental damage + slower human progress.
You quite literally become
the systems you choose
to live inside.
DOY Format
Day Of Year format is the most powerful thing in the world.
In GPC every seventh day of the year falls on Threeday (our Tuesday). Take any multiple of 7 — 91, 98, 105, 252 — they all land on Threeday.
That single fact unlocks permanent, eternal events lists that never drift. Ever.
Here are the High Sabbaths in GPC (fixed forever):
- 001 New Years
- 015 Unleavened Bread
- 021 Moshiach Meal
- 026 Feast of Barley
- 075 Feast of Wheat
- 092 Abyss Remembrance
- 124 Feast of Wine
- 173 Feast of Oil
- 183 Trumpets
- 191 Day of Atonement
- 192 Day of Atonement
- 197 Tabernacles
- 204 Eighth day of Assembly
- 274 Mountain Remembrance
Now the exact same events on the Gregorian calendar (2024 example):
- 2024-03-20 New Years
- 2024-04-03 Unleavened Bread
- 2024-04-09 Moshiach Meal
- 2024-04-14 Feast of Barley
- 2024-06-02 Feast of Wheat
- 2024-06-19 Abyss Remembrance
- 2024-07-21 Feast of Wine
- 2024-09-08 Feast of Oil
- 2024-09-18 Trumpets
- 2024-09-26 Day of Atonement
- 2024-09-27 Day of Atonement
- 2024-10-02 Tabernacles
- 2024-10-16 Eighth day of Assembly
- 2024-12-18 Mountain Remembrance
Which one does your brain like better?
The Events list is something I went absolutely crazy on. I now query every kind of information using GPC — something that was literally impossible on the Gregorian calendar.
Once things get easy, you just do more.
The Aztecs grasped DOY format perfectly. That’s exactly how they recorded dates. Same with the Maya. GPC is infinitely flexible — on my phone I use Day of Week, Day of Month for my 43-file system, and DOY for all documents, logs, videos, everything. Day of Year is now present in every single part of my life.
Human Memory
The Human Brain Runs on 7
— Not 10, Not 8, Not 12.
Here’s Why Everything Should Too.
1956:
Psychologist George Miller drops the bombshell paper
“The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two.”
That’s why phone numbers are 7 digits (plus area code).
That’s why the Romans ditched their 8-day market cycle.
That’s why the French Revolution’s 10-day week collapsed.
Seven is the absolute limit of what the average human can hold in working memory without effort.
Your brain is not a hard drive.
It’s a creative engine.
The moment you try to turn it into storage, you cripple it.
People who can memorize entire dictionaries or the Torah?
Impressive parlor trick.
But watch what happens to the rest of their life — it usually shrinks to almost nothing.
The brain has limited RAM.
Fill it with rote data and there’s none left for original thought.
A $5 phone can store the Bible.
Your mind is worth more than that.
So I offload everything mundane to systems (GPC) and keep my head empty for ideas.
And guess what?
The entire human body is hard-wired for 7 too.
- 7 cervical vertebrae in your neck (every mammal has them)
- 16 teeth per jaw → ~16 hours awake
- ~12 hours average daylight → the 12 lines on your palm if you bother to count
Even nature agrees: beavers, sloths, pigeons, doves — multiple long-term studies show mammals naturally drop activity every seventh day, even with no cultural influence.
The weekly rhythm is biological, not just religious.
That’s why the Sabbath exists.
One day in seven to rest, defrag, and reset.
Athletes who take it seriously crush the ones who grind 7 days straight.
Jews have known this for 3,500 years and somehow keep outperforming everyone else.
Coincidence? Maybe.
But I’m not betting against it.
Now look at cultures that name days numerically instead of gods/planets:
Vietnam: Thแปฉ Hai, Thแปฉ Ba, Thแปฉ Tฦฐ… (Monday = Day 2, etc.)
Israel: Yom Rishon, Yom Sheni… (Sunday = Day 1)
Both nations punch way above their weight.
Vietnam is the fastest-growing major economy in Southeast Asia.
Israel... well, you know.
Numerical days make time visible.
Threeday to Sesday = instantly 3 days.
Tuesday to Friday? You have to count on your fingers like a kindergartner.
Same with GPC months — you always know the season and the number at a glance:
๐ผ Unspring · Duspring · Trispring
☀️ Quadsum · Fivesum · Sixsum
๐ Sepafall · Oktafall · Novafall
❄️ Dekawint · Elvawint · Dozawint
No more “Wait, is June early or late summer?”
You see it.
This isn’t theory.
I’ve been living it for years.
My mental clarity is ridiculous.
I misplace keys? Almost never — because mundane sh*t is handled by the system, not my brain.
The 7-based system is the ultimate cheat code for human hardware.
Most people run Windows 95 on a quantum computer.
GPC is the upgrade.
Try it for 30 days.
If your head doesn’t feel noticeably emptier and sharper, I’ll publicly admit I’m wrong on every platform.
Deal?
Sun Time
Sun Time: The Ancient Timing System That 4x’d My Daily Output
(And Why Modern Humans Are Zombies Compared to Our Ancestors)
Look at any ancient wonder — Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, Roman forums, Greek temples, Egyptian pyramids — and then look at the concrete apartment blocks built right next to them in 2024.
Why were our ancestors absolute gigachads at building beautiful, timeless things… and we can barely make a strip mall that doesn’t look depressing?
Simple.
They lived on sundials.
We live on mechanical/clock app time.
Sundials force you to live with the sun.
Clocks force the sun to live with you.
That tiny difference is destroying modern brains.
The confused, medicated, scrolling zombies you see everywhere?
Direct result of perceiving time like a machine instead of like a human animal.
Ethiopia never forgot this.
They still run on Sun Time to this day.
Their clocks are set ~6 hours “behind” ours.
When our clocks say 7:00 AM, theirs say 1:00.
Day starts when you actually wake up. Logical.
Here’s the dead-simple conversion chart (awake hours only):
07:00 → 1
08:00 → 2
09:00 → 3
10:00 → 4
11:00 → 5
12:00 → 6 (actual noon)
13:00 → 7
14:00 → 8
15:00 → 9 (original “noon” – the 9th hour – hottest part of day)
16:00 → 10
17:00 → 11
18:00 → 12 (sunset)
19:00 → 13
20:00 → 14
21:00 → 15
22:00 → 16 (bedtime for early risers)
I switched my Casio to Sun Time two years ago.
Result?
I legitimately get 4× more real work done in a day now.
Why?
Because time finally feels like time again.
I wake up at Hour 1.
By Hour 4 I’ve already crushed most people’s entire day — and I still have twelve hours left.
Hour 6 is literal noon — lunch feels natural.
Hour 9 is the hottest part — perfect siesta or deep work block.
Hour 12 the sun is going down — body knows it’s wind-down time.
Hour 16 I’m asleep.
No more looking at “19:47” and feeling like the day is already dead.
Every glance at the watch now says: “You still have X hours of daylight left — move.”
Suddenly time is precious again.
And yes — we have 16 teeth top + 16 bottom for a reason.
We are biologically wired for ~16 waking hours.
Sun Time just makes that wiring visible.
Ancient people weren’t smarter than us.
They just weren’t fighting the sun all day.
When you live on Sun Time, life becomes brutally simple and powerful.
I will never go back.
My watch stays on Sun Time forever.
Try it for one week.
Just set your phone/clock back exactly 6 hours.
If you don’t feel sharper, calmer, and more in control of your day, I will personally Venmo you $50.
Seriously.
That’s how confident I am this will change your life.
Who’s in?
Sun Time crew — sound off below if you’ve been on it longer than me and love it even more.
Day Dots + Sun Time = operating on God mode.
Jubilees
Let's analyze how we express longer durations of time.
The jubilee cycle is built on 7. The century is built on 10.
The number 10 is simply not effective for time.
Nobody lives to see a full century. Almost everyone lives through at least one jubilee (49 years).
That's why centuries feel abstract and distant, while jubilees feel personal and real.
Centuries align with decades. Jubilees align with sabbaticals (7-year cycles) — the same rhythm the human brain and body run on.
Look at history: Aztecs used 52-year cycles. Hindus use 60-year cycles. Almost every major culture landed closer to a jubilee than a century.
Decades are also too long — notice how nothing important is tied to them. No Olympics, no presidential terms, no cultural reset happens every 10 years.
In GPC, a leap week is added every sabbatical (7 years) to keep perfect alignment with both seasons and the weekly cycle. Larger units are direct multiples of smaller ones. No drift. No special cases. Pure efficiency.
The number 10 is perfect for distance, weight, volume. It fails for time.
Time is biological. Time is 7-based.
UPDATE — I've been thinking about Gen Z a lot. They feel like a strange remix of every previous generation. Then it hit me while watching 70s music videos: "This is Gen Z energy."
Exactly one jubilee later.
Fads, aesthetics, cultural quirks — they don't come back every century. They come back every jubilee.
The next one starts in 2030.
Gen Z will be in their prime, fully in power, and the world will feel like it's rebooting with their vibe.
This only makes sense on GPC.
The Gregorian calendar blinds us to it.
Time is not decimal.
Time is alive.
No BC/AD
As of this writing, the Gregorian calendar says 2024. GPC says 6021.
Most would agree the Gregorian system is neurotic — and neurosis itself is rooted in poor time management.
Recorded history only reaches back about 4,000 years. The oldest known document? The Diary of Merer — a logbook. Funny how the very first thing we bothered to write down was a daily record.
Whatever system we use should reflect the planet we actually live on. The Gregorian does not.
GPC eliminates the entire BC/AD (or BCE/CE) nonsense. No more mental gymnastics, no more political correctness debates. Just one continuous count from a fixed, verifiable epoch.
For software (and the environment) we use ISO 8601 style with dots: YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY.DOY.
Today is 6021.09.31 (or 6021.273). Tomorrow is 6021.10.01 (or 6021.274).
ISO 8601 reduces code bloat, which reduces energy use. It also reduces mental friction — it is literally the Chinese “big-to-small” philosophy that now dominates the global economy.
Fun fact: it is also the original Torah date format (year first, then month, then day).
Influenced by Star Trek’s Stardate system (which itself follows big-to-small), GPC gives you three equally valid formats: DOY, DOS, Traditional. Day of Year, Day of Season, Traditional:
The Big-to-Small Philosophy: From Dates to Checks to Phone Numbers
Ever notice how the most efficient systems always start with the largest unit and drill down to the smallest?
Japan (influenced by China) writes dates YYYY-MM-DD. Phone numbers start with country code. Bank checks start with routing number (bank) → account number (person) → check number (transaction).
In every case: institution → person → detail.
Big → small.
It’s not coincidence. It’s hierarchy. It’s clarity. It’s how human brains actually process context.
The West writes dates small-to-big (MM-DD-YYYY) because we’re obsessed with “today” and forget we are part of something larger.
GPC forces you to remember the big picture first.
The calendar you use
shapes the mind you have.
Eastern Thinking
Christianity and Islam are built on a linear arrow: one life → judgment → escape to Heaven.
Where is Heaven? No one has ever found it. Another dimension? A cosmic exit door?
The idea probably came from the Hebrew word shamayim (“sky”) getting mixed with Hellenistic star-worship and the promise of leaving Earth behind.
Judaism and Hinduism reject that escape fantasy.
In Judaism the ultimate destination is not “up” — it is Gan Eden, the Garden of Eden, restored right here on Earth. We are not fleeing the planet; we are completing the circle and returning to it.
Hinduism and Buddhism go even further: reincarnation, karma, the great wheel turning until liberation. Time is not a line; it is a circle.
A Buddhist friend once told me: “I could never accept Christianity — it feels like a cop-out. One shot and then bail forever? Too easy.”
I feel the same.
Judaism gave me an unbreakable sense of responsibility for this world. Fix it. Guard it. Heal it. Do not abandon it.
Yet the modern West, still drunk on linear theology, talks about colonizing Mars while children starve on Earth.
That obsession with “getting off the planet” is the direct child of the same escapist mindset.
GPC is the antidote.
It is unapologetically earthly. Built entirely on the actual cycles of this actual planet — solar year, sabbaticals, jubilees.
No escape pods required.
We are here to stay.
And we are here to make it right.
The future is not out there.
The future is here —
circling back
to claim us.
Months
How long is a month? In the Gregorian Calendar it could be 28, 29, 30 or 31 days. In GPC every season has 91 days consisting of three months. Months follow the 30/30/31 pattern. It's the perfect balance and in legal contexts a month is considered 30 days with four seasonal markers in the year.
Consistency
GPC has a year of 364 days which is divisible by 7. This is what makes a Perennial Calendar work. Day 91/182/273/364 mark season ends and always fall on Tuesday. The year always starts on Wednesday. Buy one calendar, use it for life.
Get Things Done (GTD)
I got heavy into success psychology and GTD. The 43-file system becomes far more powerful with GPC since weekly cycles do not drift — you don't have to annual-fix dates. Combine both and planning is turbocharged.
Unites All Cultures
Tarot & Playing Cards — read this post
The deeper you go, the more obvious it becomes:
We are all connected.
Tarot, playing cards, the Chinese Book of Changes, the Hindu dashas, the Mayan calendar — every ancient culture built their time-keeping around the exact same numbers GPC uses today.
52 cards = 364 days.
4 suits = 4 seasons.
13 cards per suit = 13 weeks per season.
Court cards = leap week system.
They weren't guessing.
They were remembering the same perennial calendar we all once shared.
GPC isn't new.
It is the original global operating system — buried under centuries of political overlays, waiting to be switched back on.
All our problems — war, inequality, climate, mental health — are, at root, time-management problems in disguise.
When we finally speak the same language of time, the silly games end.
The pros of GPC keep piling up.
But this one might be the biggest:
It reminds humanity
we were never separate
in the first place.
Live long and prosper ๐๐ฝ

Jubilees
Let's analyze how we express longer durations of time. The jubilee cycle is based off the number 7 and the century cycle is based off the number 10. The number ten is not effective at expressing time. A jubilee is a 49-year cycle and aligns with human spans and cultural rhythms.
