“The ‘burn’ part is like what the climate change does, which you are familiar with.
The ‘CD’ part is like your brain, where the ‘burn’ causes microplastics to melt in a pattern that stores data.”

“Now kids, can anyone tell me why the historians often say ‘CDs nutz’?”

“Importance™”

Well, modifications to Mercator world maps are not a bad idea, people genuinely don’t understand the size differentness (both ways - equatorial ppl how smol northern & southern territories are & the other way around, eg Europeans how big most of Africa is in comparison).

The bad part of normalising anther type of sphere projection for this purpose is that it almost certainly wouldn’t follow just one simple rule like Mercator’s. And with that exact predictability actually diminished in a way.

Eg, we could try to keep countries as close to the same-ish size & in return shrink (or have gaps in) oceans. Or keep smaller gaps between counties/some squares. Or have several different projections merged into one global map. Etc.
All of it is always arbitrary.
The true answer is only education (not necessarily, but preferability in early school days).

Not being in the average isn’t necessarily bad, just a bit different. And intolerant jerks will find you being different no matter how much the same you are compared to them.
