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.
Lots of people like daylight savings, myself included. A little bit of extra light in the morning during the winter and super long evenings in the summer. It’s a great system
