If you please; what is your Tolberone theory of knowledge?
My theory, which I thought up a few weeks ago while sick with covid, is that all knowledge is a form of art, and that there are very broadly three basic types of knowledge arts: physical arts, philosophical arts, and scientific arts, and that pretty much all academic, artistic and practical disciplines exist somewhere in that triangle spectrum.
Physical arts are knowledges of how to actually, physically do things. The purest front of physical arts are things like dance and navigation.
Scientific arts are knowledges of things that can be tested and proven. Computer programming and Quilting are both scientific arts: they work, or they don't.
Philosophical Arts are knowledges of things which while not objectively provable, are still very real. History and Being A Good Listener are philosophical arts.
Nearly every discipline of knowledge is some combination of all three. Cooking is largely applied chemistry, a scientific art, but it's also a philosophical art because flavor is extremely cultural and contextual, and a physical art because you have to know how to hold the damn knife and heat when it's done.
The first part of toblerone theory is that, like how each piece has three sides, any given project needs at least one person who has a good grasp of each of the underlying arts involved or it's going to go sideways at best. For example:
Physical and Scientific arts, no philosophy: Jurassic Park. They need someone to point out that, while very possible, it's not necessarily a good idea.
Philosophy and Science, no physical: that dril tweet about the forum debate locked by a mod after 12,000 pages of heated debate. They need someone to drag them away from the keyboard and actually do something.
Philosophy and Physical, no science: that cult in midsommar that put a guy in a bearsuit. Without the ability to engage measurably with the world, they give into fear and behave like reactive animals. Also the "rare chicken steak" phenomenon.
You can have differing ratios of each type- Jurassic Park really only needed two philosophers: one animal behaviorist and an OSHA inspector, and 98% of the issues would have been avoided- but you do need at least ONE of each underlying art to check each other's work.
The second part of toblerone theory is that, like how the toblerone is made of many triangle pieces, there are poles to the triangle spectrum. Practical vs Esoteric arts. Short term and long term arts. High stakes vs for funsies arts.
While you have have different ratios and levels of expertise in each of the arts, you do all need them to be on the same piece of the bar, or they won't take each other seriously. A UN Diplomat and a climate scientist aren't going to take the advice of physical artist my uncle Bobby the plumber re: global warming, but they will take the advice of physical artist my Aunt Cheryl the civil engineer, a world expert in getting shit done.
The same applies for the other end of the spectrum. Aunt Cheryl the civil engineer isn't going to get much milage with the local high school student council and principal Waley when the problem at hand is "what are we going to do for this year's prom theme?"
I gotta go to therapy now, pictures later.

KULINDAY IS COMING!
July 24th, the anniversary of the description of Kulindadromeus, is a bit of a party here in Palaeoblr!
AKA, I and my friends stream us playing video games and talking about prehistoric life and dinosaurs in general
And this year is special! It's the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Kulindadromeus' discovery!
Can't believe it's been 10 whole years!!!
Alas, I can't give you guys a video tour of the museum I work in, mainly because it's a mess
I also can do more than one if multiple are appealing!

I write a bunch of human x HKCharacter Fics, and I’m curious as to what ideas others either use or enjoy. Or what people find is the most believable. For this, I generally consider HK characters to be roughly person sized (THK being ~7 foot sorta scale)
Elaborations of the options:
Space Ship Crash Landing: Pretty self explanatory. A Sci-fi set up, with the HK world being an exoplanet. Humans develop the technology to travel through the galaxy/universe and crashes onto the HK planet Subnautica style. Sometimes ignores canon of all of Hallownest being underground.
Cryosleep/Other Stasis: Another Sci-fi set up, this time with the HK world actually being a distant future Earth. Humanity used advanced tech to go to sleep for some reason, and either wake up themselves to find the world in a state they hadn’t anticipated, or they get found and woken up by characters. The existence of magic clashes heavily with this idea.
Magic Displacement: The human/humans just suddenly find themselves on a different world for unknown, potentially never explained, reasons. Could be the work of a God. Could just be Plot Magic. The author might not even know. Allows for a large amount of freedom the explore humans in Hallownest at the severe cost of believability (unless it’s done with skill.) Can be ambiguous on if the HK world is different from the human one. Could even be a different magic dimension.
Summoning: Similar to above, but the human/humans are summoned via magic by a means that’s at least a little explained, usually a ritual of some sort.
Magic Resurrection/Genetic Reconstruction: HK world used to be the earth, and humans used to live on it in the distant past. But they’ve been extinct for a long time, only they’re ruins and corpses remain. Someone decides to try to Jurassic Park them, with fancy bug magic.
Void: The human/humans are just yoinked through space and potentially time by the Void. Either intentionally or randomly. It’s never elaborated upon on how the void has done this. It’s the Void, that’s like the HK community’s Swiss army goop. It can do whatever the author needs it to do, don’t ask questions.
Humans already exist: The HK world exists in either a magically hidden bubble space on the surface, or deep underground where it hasn’t been discovered yet. The existence of magic again hinders the believability.
Jumangi-d into the game: Allows for the human/humans to have a previously existing knowledge of the lore/main events. Allows for some time travel fix-it esqe shenanigans (and the angst that comes with consequences of making those changes.) Method of spontaneous digitalization/displacement is usually not explained. Similar to magic displacement above, could even work in tandem. Allows humans to flex on the Radiance for technically being her god. Could take a step further and give the human access to “modding” or “debug” abilities to the world itself.
