   A person in Jesus's time could live through 7, 8, or even 9 square years in a single lifetime. But we have done little to preserve that resource, to the extent that in modern times many people live and die without experiencing a single square year. Without drastic calendar reform, this problem will only get worse.

     Jesus' time was an anomaly, though. Prior to that there were no square years at all.

     @tlariv @evan @tlariv @evan Quite right. The imaginary unit i had not been invented yet, and therefore did not exist.

     Yeah, but they didn't live through an incredibly cubed year like 2025 (1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³).

     @iuveaene @evan and therefore, a triangle squared:
     (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²
