Why is it better? It’s just a number, only the starting point is different. But it still seems arbitrary.
Why is the accent on Jesus so problematic? I’m no fan of religion either but I’m also not bothered by it. It’s a starting point a lot of existing literature uses, so switching that seems… Unnecessary perhaps?
Holocene Era!
What I do is the same, but I add 9,700, not 10,000 - because that matches closer to when the Holocene proper started.
So you’re using an uncommon calendar, and then made a unique variation on it? How does that help communicate what you mean?
The Holocene calendar is better and more neutral though, the Gregorian calendar puts the accent too much on Jesus.
Whereas your method puts far too much emphasis on YOU to the point of derailing whatever you’re using it for.
That’s about the farthest from a useful dating system you can get without going to amishsingles.ru
