Well, now you can make a fantasy RPG that teaches math and CS, would be a banger

good point.
would look great on crt

Mathematics are a social constructs driven by petty ideologies such as rejecting dogmatically https://njwildberger.com/

Grug say math easy. Grug have one rock and another one rock. Grug have two rock.

Grug say get own two rock and learn math

What's the middle animal here? It looks sort of like a frog head on a monkey body but that can't be right.

I love this sort of thing. Reminds me of a terrific figure I saw in a colloquium talk a few years ago - it was a three-axis map of physics in terms of motion, size, and complexity. So like you had classical mechanics and electrodynamics hovering around the origin; if you moved up along the motion axis you got into special relativity, up along the size axis you got into general relativity, down along the size axis you got into quantum mechanics, and as you blended these with complexity you could identify regimes where you'd cross into thermodynamics or MHD or BECs and so on.

EM is already relativistic. Only electrostatics are strictly classical (magnetostatics violate Newton's third in some isolated cases).
