Our current calendar distorts our own history and makes it harder to understand who we are as a species, and just how far we've come in an incredibly short amount of time. It's time to choose a new Year Zero for humanity. A year that truly represents us as a species and includes all cultures. A year that marks when humanity began to develop its own cultures and civilizations. By switching to the Holocene calendar, we can accomplish this without having to change our already established months and days, and religious calendars could stay the same. All we would have to do is add 10,000 years to our current date. This will drastically alter how we think about history and how it feels to us as a species.
