I mean sure we have calenders and computers and phones but how do WE really know what date it is? Maybe its all a lie and its still 1999. Maybe the machines, maybe their inside of us and this is all a dream.

There’s a general consensus among people that it’s 2016, thus making it 2016. Same reason why countries exist. Nothing in nature says “yes, this is a country”, we’ve just designated certain spaces as such and most people agree to it.

But in all actuality, time is a lie, a human fabricated illusion. So, we don’t actually occupy a specific Roman “year”.

Truth is, we don’t. Time is a measurement we have imposed on our lives to give it some form of structure. Different religions and cultures observe different calendars or units of measurement.

Honest thing to do is not worry about it.

The calendar is an entirely arbitrary construct, and nobody can even decide if the millenium started in 2000 or 2001 (it was 2001, btw). Based on our entirely bogus human construct, it is 2016. The Earth couldn’t care less what number we assign to this day.
