Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
In the remote Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm.
Today’s numerical world is dominated by the Hindu-Arabic decimal system. This system, adopted by almost every society, is what many people think of as “numbers”—values expressed in a written form using the digits 0 through 9. But meaningful alternatives exist, and they are as varied as the cultures they belong to.
this is so cool
Absolutely love it
This is so cool. I’ve never seen a number system other than the standard 123′s and the Roman Numerals, and I love how logical this is! It works so well! I can only imagine how much easier it would be for kids to learn math when the answers are right there in front of you like that.
I hadn’t thought much about how a system that’s not base-10 would work, when it comes to comparing the big numbers, and it threw me that instead of the “10s, 100s, and 1000s” you get “20s, 400s, and 8000s.” So foreign. So cool.
I can tell that this will pop into my head every time I mention in a sci-fi that a fictional culture has a different number system. Now I want to research what else is out there that I’ve never heard about.

musings on anora mac tir, as well as her relationship with her father
I remember one of my favorite professors saying that the way he read the iliad changed when he became a parent and I think about that a lot
like it’s about thetis helping her son to disastrous ends it’s about zeus knowing his son is doomed and being unable to save him it’s chryseis’ father trying to bargain his daughter back from the greeks it’s hector and andromache wishing their son will survive but knowing he won’t it’s priam kissing the hand of the man who killed his son just to be able to bury him. the iliad is so fundamentally familial
The right person, the wrong time ......The right script, the wrong line .......... The right poem the ,wrong rhyme ...And a piece of you, that was never mine.
