    <title>Why Maps Lie — From Mercator to the Search Algorithm</title>
    <link>https://www.youngju.dev/blog/humanities/maps-and-power.en</link>
    <description>Greenland is one fourteenth the size of Africa, yet on the world map on the classroom wall the two look alike. That is not an error but a design decision. Starting from the Gauss proof that a sphere mathematically cannot be flattened, this piece follows the 1569 Mercator projection that sacrificed area to preserve bearings for navigators, the Gall-Peters controversy over a map born as political protest that carried distortions of its own, the politics of what goes in the centre and what goes on top, and the medieval mappa mundi that mapped a worldview rather than a coastline. It closes by asking who draws the maps now, because Web Mercator and search rankings are redrawing the shape of the world in our heads.</description>

    <title>地図はなぜ嘘をつくのか — メルカトルから検索アルゴリズムまで</title>
    <link>https://www.youngju.dev/blog/humanities/maps-and-power.ja</link>
    <description>グリーンランドはアフリカの14分の1の大きさですが、教室の壁の世界地図ではほぼ同じに見えます。これはミスではなく設計です。球面を平面に伸ばすことは数学的に不可能だというガウスの証明から出発し、航海のために角度を守って面積を捨てた1569年のメルカトル図法、政治的抗議として登場しながらそれ自体が歪みを抱えていたペータース図法論争、中心と上をどこに置くかという政治、そして正確さではなく世界観を描いた中世のマッパ・ムンディまでをたどります。最後に問うのは、今日の地図製作者は誰なのかということ。ウェブ・メルカトルと検索順位が、私たちの頭のなかの世界の形を描き直しているからです。</description>

    <title>지도는 왜 거짓말을 하는가 — 메르카토르에서 검색 알고리즘까지</title>
    <link>https://www.youngju.dev/blog/humanities/maps-and-power</link>
    <description>그린란드는 아프리카의 14분의 1 크기지만 교실 벽의 세계지도에서는 비슷해 보입니다. 이것은 실수가 아니라 설계입니다. 구면을 평면에 펴는 일이 수학적으로 불가능하다는 가우스의 증명에서 출발해, 항해용으로 각도를 지키려고 면적을 포기한 1569년 메르카토르 도법, 정치적 항의로 등장했으나 그 자체로 왜곡을 안고 있던 페터스 도법 논쟁, 중심과 위쪽을 어디에 두느냐의 정치, 그리고 정확성이 아니라 세계관을 그렸던 중세 마파문디까지 따라갑니다. 마지막에는 오늘의 지도 제작자가 누구인지 묻습니다. 웹 메르카토르와 검색 순위가 우리 머릿속 세계의 모양을 다시 그리고 있기 때문입니다.</description>

    <title>地图为什么会说谎 — 从墨卡托到搜索算法</title>
    <link>https://www.youngju.dev/blog/humanities/maps-and-power.zh</link>
    <description>格陵兰只有非洲的十四分之一大,可在教室墙上的世界地图里,两者看上去差不多。这不是失误,而是设计。本文从高斯证明球面无法摊成平面出发,一路追踪为航海保住角度而放弃面积的1569年墨卡托投影、以政治抗议登场却自身带着变形的高尔-彼得斯投影之争、把谁放在中央和把哪边朝上的政治,以及画的不是精度而是世界观的中世纪世界图。最后要问的是:今天的制图者究竟是谁?因为网络墨卡托与搜索排名,正在重画我们脑子里那个世界的形状。</description>
