There's a chance of holocene/human era becoming a mainstream calendaring system. Whether that chance is greater than the chance of the human race lasting anoth

There's a chance of holocene/human era becoming a mainstream calendaring system. Whether that chance is greater than the chance of the human race lasting another 8000 years; I'm not sure.
