I appreciate the variety of examples used across different fields on multidisciplinary thinking. What most stood out to me was the Nintendo case study - I didn't know the company had such a long and storied history. But the underlying theme of using cheaper / older tech in inventive ways has been a long standing tradition. It explains why consoles that fit that theme perfectly became smash hits (Wii, Switch) and the times Nintendo stepped outside that frame it didn't work (Wii U, Virtual Boy). https://www.crokes.com/activity/p/990153/ Sun, 03 May 2026 06:48:55 +1000

It’s slow only because I am not often motivated to listen to audiobooks as such - I prefer reading them with my eyes. I like cassettes though. When you stop the tape it keeps your place consistently (unlike streaming services 😆) and you can even switch between playing devices and pick up where you left off. And they are fun to hold. But I have like 17 tapes to go through in total for this whole book, I’m only partway there. https://www.crokes.com/activity/p/990876/ Sun, 03 May 2026 06:48:49 +1000

However I have read discussion about the casting choice for Heathcliff in the new movie adaption. Aside from the fact that white men have already portrayed Heathcliff in film, the fact it is left vague and ambiguous in the book means it is open to interpretation. I will though add my 2 cents on the matter of “what race is Heathcliff” and say, my opinion is that Heathcliff is Indian (and I’m referring to the larger original India, not the modern nation) based on the usage of the term “lascar” to describe him. I think the most likely scenario is that Heathcliff is an abandoned child of an Indian sailor operating on a British ship. Indians are genetically a diverse people and so the other comments made of Heathcliff being “dark skinned” and looking like a “gypsy” could be applied to an Indian boy/young man depending on features. I think this makes a lot more sense than the theory that Heathcliff is Black / African. But I’m happy to hear other theories. https://www.crokes.com/activity/p/988126/ Fri, 27 Mar 2026 09:25:24 +1100
