that’s not true. there are things that are not definitions. like my bed for instance, there are aspects that are arbitrary (my personal preferences, design choices, etc) and aspects that are not arbitrary (its physical form that exists beyond definition)

maybe you’re the one who doesn’t understand the ramifications of its meaning

literally every definition ever is arbitrary

just because it has a reason doesn’t make it not arbitrary. you can ultimately come up with a reason for all arbitrary decisions

absolute scales are still arbitrary. you would probably want to use a scale that measures “perceived heat” which is different than average kinetic energy

arguably setting zero to absolute zero is just as arbitrary

did you just not read the last paragraph??

oh so you’re just an unhappy person

👍

oh no!! good thing that doesn’t impact anything
