Shall we adopt a Human Era calendar?
Two years ago Kurzgesagt proposed a new calendar that would start 10,000 years before the Common Era, around the time when agriculture started in the Fertile Crescent and the hunter-gatherers of Göbekli Tepe erected the world's first stone temple. They argued that this would be a more universal calendar than those in use today and would give a better appreciation of the time lapse since humans settled down. It would also greatly facilitate dating for archaeologists and historians, getting rid of the BC/BCE or BP terminology altogether for anything from the Neolithic/Mesolithic onward.
They have published their Human Era calendar for 2017, 2018 and 2019 (or 12,017, 12,018 and 12,019 HE). Please check the video.

"What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?", Winston Churchill.
Yes. I think it's a good idea.
I do not like the commercial side. It should take a decision at international level.
Obviously not, what's the point.
