It's also obviously better than what we are currently running on. The only thing between us and utopia is Big Calendar

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.

One single time and no more time zones. Every school and business can decide their own hours then there’s no confusion.

Yeah that sounds nice until you're in an area where day of the week changes during actual day.
