Really cool video on China’s Forbidden City and how the architecture was designed so that it could withstand even a 10.1 earthquake! This is just one example of how certain civilizations would adapt structures to the terrain they lived on.

The kind of thinking I like to see, the kind of thing I like to think about– and tell my students to think about.
Amazing how much a movie could be fixed by telling it from the woman’s POV.
“I was genuinely surprised by just how creepy Pratt’s character is when you take away his POV. We don’t know whether to trust him or not, believe him or not … We feel the cruelty as she feels it.”
I mean, I doubt many women would be nearly as surprised but yeah, a very interesting take on how stories are not the same when told starting from different points and perspectives
“A wolf pack: the first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed. Then come 5 strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following. Last is alone, the alpha. He controls everything from the rear. In that position he can see everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack. The pack moves according to the elders pace and help each other, watch each other.”
