  • You know those maps where Greenland is bigger than South America and Russia looks absolutely gigantic? They're wrong. Very wrong.

    Is a saw "wrong" because you can't brush your teeth with it? Is a car "wrong" because the fastest way to travel long distances is by aeroplane?
    The maker of this video lives in an age in which ignorant people delight in finding fault and think that the ability to find fault proves their smartness. These are the same sort of people who think that sarcasm is a sign of intelligence.
    The fact of the matter is that the Mercator projection is not wrong. It is in fact a very accurate projection for what it is meant to do. This projection was designed for an age when people in Europe were beginning to explore the world and they needed a way to plot routes. By laying the surface of the Earth on a flat grid, the Mercator projection solved an important problem of navigation.
    The Mercator projection was never meant to accurately plot areas. To declare it is "wrong" because it doesn't resolve area in the correct proportions is like declaring that cars are "wrong" because they don't fly in the air and thus aren't the fastest means of transportation and saws are "wrong" because you can't brush your teeth with them.

We know that our content is small but we are still very powerful. Le Pen will kick out macron and more populist government are rising against the liberal world order of so called multiculturalism and diversity. Europe for Europeans. The EU should be more isolationist and get Russia to join so that the combined nuclear arsenals of Russia,France, Britain will prevent any threats from Asia and maybe Africa if they develop the capability to do so. Fun fact South Africa had a nuclear arsenal but it was destroyed during the fall of Apartheid due to fear of Misuse of the black government.
