West Wing - Why are we changing maps?
Loading...
Uploaded by uncyjugs on Jul 7, 2008
From season 2 - episode 16 "Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail"
It's "Big Block of Cheese" Day, which means that Leo sends grumbling staffers to meet with organizations who are not usually heard from at the White House. C.J.'s assignment is the Cartographers for Social Equality.

Aaron Sorkin is a genius

he's basically right. even from a solar perspective it doesn't matter if the map is south side up or north side up because they both tilt get the same seasons, and the planet's still rotate around the sun.

@zxcv1234vcxz Despite the fact that imperialist Europeans put Greenwich as 0 degree longitude, I support Greenwich. Because if u move it, u r moving 180 degree longitude or 'international date line' as well causing it to be on continental areas instead of the Pacific Ocean

Makes you wonder what else we should be looking closer at.

"Cartographers for Social Equality"? If such a group were really about that, it would put Japan's time zone (GMT+9) at the centre of the map. Humans evolved in Africa and migrated to other continents, walking across the frozen Bering Strait. Putting the Atlantic Ocean at the centre is a bias towards North America and Europe, regardless of the projection.
I've seen maps with the Antarctic on top and they're no big deal, though some people freak out as the sight of them.

My RE teacher told me that the Mercator projection was the result of a european bias and designed to unfairly reflect on the thirld world. I was all like 'fuck dat shit, you ever try faithfully mapping a sphere to a plane?'
