maybe, but there are engineers and scientists who are marxist, and in the built world, i have trouble eyeballing what a 'cup' is; all my cups are bigger than a cup. which is fucking insane. and I'm from the empire. a litre is far closer to something I would actually use-to drink from, to bottle, etc. 250 ml rice (uncooked) is a nice single serving.
plus, when you're designing on the nanometre scale, there's no god damn intuition involved.
automation is something marx predicted, and he said it would create the conditions under which liberation would be possible, if I remember right-it's been quite a while since I read his stuff.
okay but when I hear 'cup' I think 'cup'. like the thing I drink from. which is totally different than a measurement of a 'cup'. it might make more sense if I didn't speak english.

But everyone uses ricecookers now? Or stoves that dramatically change cooking times. Some concepts are just dead.
