The 10,000 Year Clock

Agreed, with one caveat: we should probably think of THIS year as 12018!

The 10,000 Year Clock extends our perception of time further into the future.

Adopting the Holocene Calendar, as proposed by the geologist Cesare Emiliani in 1993, would extend our understanding of the "long now" further into the past, which I would argue is equally as important.

Oops, you're right. Somehow I got transported to last year while I was writing.
