Stepping silently, he walked between two friends, one seeing the red side of his hat, the other seeing the white. Later in the day the two friends spoke to one another about the mysterious man. "It was a fine white hat that he wore," said the first man." "No, you are mistaken, my friend," said the second man. "I saw it clearly and his hat was brilliant red." "Are you calling me a liar? It was white as that cloud in the morning sky." "Do you say that I am blind? It was red as the blood that will flow from your nose!" "White!" "Red!" "White!" "Red!" Their quarreling turned to blows, as each man insisted that he was right and the other wrong. Trickster Elegua, who had been secretly watching them fighting from a distance, chuckled at the sight. He walked over to the bloodied and furious men and separated them at arm's length. "See, fools, this hat of mine — red on one side and white on the other. Ha! I laugh at you from the depth of my belly, that you would strike each other over something so ridiculous as the color of a stranger's hat. Your clothes are in tatters, and so is your friendship. Should you not choose to wrestle with more important matters, and together defeat your families' hunger? Clothe your children? Improve your lot?" In this version Elegua leaves them there, weeping and apologizing to each other, but in other versions, their struggles continue until their entire village is destroyed. Elegua is the name for the the Yoruba trickster deity also known as Eshu.

He was willing to die by hemlock poisoning rather than be banished from his beloved Athens for the crime of fostering subversive critical thinking in the public arena. He claimed no original knowledge and left no writings of his own. His wisdom lives on because his life and work were championed in the works of Plato. Socrates declares (in Plato's Theaetetus: 150) that “god constrains me to serve as midwife, but has debarred me from giving birth.” Socrates' maieutic method (mid-wife-as-opposed-to-didact) is, of course, the watchword for effective, constructivist TOK teaching! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1495869037948-6JUNMYI6C4YSZRMCI5XV/DSC0633.jpeg Induction and Deduction A bevy of white Swans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1495869446983-57NVQ6LIEADW1C3EHVWN/BlackSwan.jpg Induction and Deduction Cygnus atratus: a large black waterbird from Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1495912160630-SZGMD4WY2BVL1QLIUWDL/F1.large.jpg Induction and Deduction Relationships between body mass and maximum lifespan in birds and mammals.

And to think that the marks on the score consists of a few milligrams of ink sitting precariously on a finely textured paper surface! The creative imagination of course, is in the patterned arrangement. And, how strange to ponder that, at the sub-microscopic level of atomic physics, the sepia ink marks do not even touch the paper surface! Multitudes of identical vibrating atoms in the ink seem to hover above those of the cellulose-based paper. The buffeting is caused by the repulsion of electron clouds of adjacent atoms. The score is a code. Mozart could hear the piece in his head. For lesser mortals it only comes alive when performed by trained musicians. And here is a final thought...How can quasi-mathematical, patterned puffs of air, gently pummeling the elastic tympanic membranes of a smart, self-aware ape species, directly evoke emotion… sometimes very strong emotions: like nostalgia or patriotism, or even the sublime?

A child-size Napoleon, with manners to match his height, cleaves off his portion (Europe) with a manic intensity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496964762254-COKFJ7V2T5WP62W396GL/Ingres_Napoleon_on_his_Imperial_throne.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496964701464-HJCUK9LT76JIFYYS5EEX/David_napoleon.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496975059704-H7BGU8DZ733XFW7FGQIF/790px-La_Bataille_du_Pont_d%27Arcole.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496964789361-LCM1DLMBB3LBZX505KQW/Prianishnikov_Retreat_from_Moscow_1812.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496964714138-H8M3JB7YUHRO7Q5HWDFI/Delaroche_Napoleon+Crossing+the+Alps.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496964680245-OKKTSN5FHNYH2QOE4HET/446px-DelarocheNapoleon.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496975052011-QELZMYZRYWM06N2GPR6C/napoleon-auf-dem-sterbebett.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1496965337161-W3YLR0XV2UJ0S2PI4DWK/image-asset.gif The map that made a nation cry Charles Joseph Minard (1867) Napoleon's Retreat From Moscow (The Russian Campaign 1812-1813) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682719485380-H5NV9EGTAZRALTD80JD5/51FPYKFl-UL._SX331_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682719496135-ACYZ3FS5YSU4TREK7UNC/51PyqVlF77L._SX325_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682800962876-6G1ONZWTQABUV4UQF77R/51MQqw2ffHL.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682719508579-GGCU9KRWSBLBF07T89S0/415Bvqm3B0L._SX325_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682719521223-LDJZWENAFMHFQUPL31XB/9780061086861-us.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/1682800984554-DUKXPJRNDL8IN79G7QGH/51V-oRIPDlL._SX331_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg The map that made a nation cry https://www.tokresource.org/interpretation daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59038f2c440243a0d4b45f4c/2163801f-234c-41ff-82f6-487acca0f3f7/Berkeley_Symphony_header3.jpg Interpretation—What's happening? - Make it stand out Guest conductor Joseph Young leading the Berkeley Symphony orchestra.
