Depends on how we’re framing it. We agreed on names of days and lengths of weeks based on our culture and tradition, but that’s not really what today “is”, though. What it “is” is the 171st rotation in the current revolution around the sun. No need to agree on anything there. That just is what it is.

Where the rotations started (new years for example) is also of course arbitrary, as is the starting point for each rotation (“midnight”)
Or the starting point in general. Maybe we’ve been running 15 minutes late for everything, since forever.
