The West Wing breaks down what’s wrong with maps and why the Gals-Peters Projection is more accurate and less politically biased than the Mercator map we’ve been using for centuries.
Complement with maps as power and propaganda, 100 diagrams that changed the world, and some intentionally distorted maps that make political points.
It’s pretty amazing to find out that the way you’ve been viewing the world your whole life is not at all how that world actually looks. Must-watch.
