Immer wieder lese ich die Frage, ob & wie Kolonialismus, Imperialismus & Rassismus im Unterricht thematisiert werden.

Hier kommt ein kleiner Werkstattbericht zu meinem neuen Pen&Paper, das morgen in meiner 8. Premiere haben wird.

Nachdem wir Ende März im Kino #DerVermesseneMensch gesehen hatten, war klar, dass ich mein Unterrichtsmaterial zum #Imperialismus überarbeiten wollte.

👀💭 This is the Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan, Egypt stands 137 feet (42m) tall and weighs 1200 tons lies in the ancient quarries near #Aswan, #Egypt. This gigantic piece of rock was intended to be erected as an #obelisk, but for some reason it was left unfinished.
#Archaeology

👀💭 The ⬜️White box shows a crack on the obelisk, 🔵Blue shows the quarrying process around the obelisk, & the 🟥Red/Pink indicates a sculpting technique before the prime finish. I theorize this #obelisk may have been a failed attempt by a #civilization thereafter. #Archaeology

👀💭 The 🔵Blue box shows the same technique pattern used to sand down & sculpt the #obelisk, while the ⚪️White box highlights a slightly different technique than the blue, you just have to close closely. The ↪️arrow indicates the difference in finished from the near by surface.

Do you believe that a world of abundance is possible where everyone has access to free saftey nets (basic human rights): medical care, unlimited free access to higher education, free housing (what about all the abandoned homes ?), free food.. basic universal income... Santa lyfe.

WHERE the vast majority would still also perfer to WORK on creating & producing useful innovative products for wages that gives them access to ideas & creativity (?)

Why is enhancing Capabilities wrong when the point is: "We the Ppl" (?)

What is wrong w/ ideas to perfect our realities & doing service for eachothers dreams & goals, which enhance our Capabilities (?) Services that modestly aid humanity, but make big impacts as a whole (?)

And Conan doesn’t have one.

Howard wrote the Conan stories in the 1930s, before “the Hero’s Journey” writing method existed. Joseph Campbell did not begin championing the monomyth until 1944. Lord of the Rings...

It would take a complete visionary with balls of steel to throw the past 40 years of popular screenwriting into the bin and film Conan’s origin the way Howard wrote it; and then...

The story of Potassium and Sodium.
Potassium: Atomic number 19. Symbol K, comes from the Latin word kalium. Kalium derives its origin from two Sanskrit words words Kali and iyum meaning 'this'. Word Potassium was coined much later by sir Humphrey Davy
#indic #science 1/

The reason it's called potassium is because the most common method of obtaining it was by leaching potash which is nothing but plant 'ash' kept in iron 'pots'
Sodium: Element from the same family. Used in opposition to potassium to allow the organism to build #indic #science 2/

up an electrostatic charge on cell membranes that allows for transmission of nerve impulses. All living cells float in an ocean of an extracellular fluid rich in sodium.
Sodium, also called Natrium, is further derived from Sanskrit word 'Netri' and 'iyum'

The closest feeling I've felt to building a startup, outside of actually building a #startup, is playing Sid Meier's #Civilization.

(1/n)

But compared to Civ, a startup:

- has way more complex and nuanced strategies and best practices, but no Civilopedia
- doesn't let you save the game and pick it up later
- doesn't always let you "one more turn"... sometimes you just have to take a break or do it tomorrow

(2/n)

The beginning of Civ when you're scouting out the terrain near your capital and trying to find the ideal place to settle your next 2-3 cities feels a lot like the idea maze.
