I concur, we do that sometimes in Spain too. > [@Dr.Strangelove](#): > > That’s cool _I guess_ , but I’ve been taking notes in a mixture of hieroglyphs, cuneiform, and Linear B for ages now and makes perfect sense to me. You would like interpreter’s note pads for consecutive interpreting. We use some weird symbols! α means work (from the German Arbeit), αr means worker, and so on. h means president (see that it is like a chair?). A square is State, and a square with a… thingy… is _member_ State. Lovely. ---

So OK, we’ve been alerted, thank you, **Prof.Pepperwinkle**! That did not catch me by surprise. Or, as the Conversation writes, happy Twosday to you all! > **[Happy Twosday!

> [@Dr.Strangelove](#): > > Most significant in a mathematical sense is that which has the highest impact–i.e., the thousands place. By that logic, the geologic Eon is the most significant. So Hadean = 1; Archean = 2; Proterozoic = 3; Phanerozoic = 4. Since the Earth is undergoing an extreme extinction event, perhaps a new Eon is in order. ---

Maybe, though the way that relates to the year isn’t so obvious. [The Long Now Foundation](https://longnow.org/) suggests that we write the year as 02022, in order to encourage long-term thinking–the idea being that we should consider how our actions now affect the year 12022.
