The way we teach Shakespeare defies reason. It is full of wonder, beauty, tragedy, and triumph and we destroy the potential for inspiration by shoving down kids throats the wrong way in school.
Very Special thanks to Scroll for the Old English reading! "Scroll" usually writes about D&D and other roleplaying games at Scroll for Initiative dot com, but in his day job he's an English teacher in the UK (hence the pseudonym). He also specialized in Old and Middle English at Oxford. He recorded the Lord's Prayer for me in Old English because it's a text that exists in every version of English from pre conquest to the present day, and tends to be a text most readers know well already. Obviously the exact pronunciation is impossible to know for sure, but Scroll's version aligns closely with most scholars' best guesses. Cheers, Scroll! scrollforinitiative.com

Additionally, research was taken from the Tekumel Foundation website and some other sites that I will not link here. I don't think I need to explain why...

NOTE!! Edit: Ok, so I have become aware that on a separate channel from the main, that one of the creators in my thumbnail made some statements regarding the LBGTQ+ community that I am very much opposed to. I have eliminated my prior statements in the description regarding that creator and am noting it here.
Also, I cannot list of every source. I have reviewed information, text, videos, scholarly work, etc, that contributed to this video. For instance, I've read a lot of history on the Mongol Empire that is not listed here because, in some instances, I can't remember what information came from what book, or even what the title of the book is. There is so much out there to review, and history, as much as most folks don't like to think of it this way, is interpretive. That's why historians can disagree on these things.

It's always framed as an argument about whether a player knows something the character does not, but it is so much more. DnD hardliners are on all sides. I wanted to break through that and go into the nuance of metagaming as a player, character, and dungeon master. As always, let's try to keep it civil in the comment section. If you disagree with me, that's perfectly fine. I am not perfect or always right. I would prefer no name calling but that's on you. But do no attack each other in the comments.

Let's dive into the subject of Biological Essentialism, or Bioessentialism, and how it rears it's head into gaming, specifically roleplaying games like dungeons and dragons. I wanted to take the time and actually research the topic and see, without having an agenda, whether there is weight to the "controversy". DnD is dear to a lot of us, and many of us who have been playing for our entire lives love how DnD made us feel while playing it. I am not here to invalidate your feelings. I am here to look at this in a scholastic way. But, i am not the final judge, each of you has to review the facts, and make your own judgement call on this. if nothing else, maybe we can have some fun and learn some things. try to keep it civil in the comment section.
