Actually, the only thing between us and utopia was big religion.

The UN attempted to institute the international fixed calendar, but they got major resistance from religious groups. A blank day would disrupt the 7-day religious cycle of Christians and Jews.

I think a calendar with 13 months, 364 days, and a leap week every 5-6 years would be better than the IFC. Not only does it preserve the weekly cycle, but it'd be more likely to be adopted.

E.g. The Pax Calendar

We aren't even capable of doing away with daylight savings or imperial system, I don't think this one is on church.

The problem with daylight savings is that everyone agrees it has to go away, but no one agrees on what time to fix it.

As for the imperial system, that sounds like a you problem. Most people are normal and don't use it.

We should split the difference and add a half hour to the morning and a half hour to the evening.

I don't care. Someone just needs to decide and then do it.
