David Giesen, a local educator based in Bernal Heights, leads free tours on the city's notable historical movements and figures.
He holds the cows in each hand, using them to explain the differences between socialism and capitalism. “If a man gives both of them away vs. keeping it to himself..”
He points to the chess pieces. “These mean nothing,” Giesen says. “It’s only when you have the board that these pieces have meaning.”“You’ll have to scamper to keep up. I’m cramming 29 hours of knowledge into just two.” Talk of geoeconomics, cosmology, coastal cities, and other concepts ricochet off Giesen’s tongue like artillery.“Right down there, is the wealth of our city, all the biotechnology and finance companies,” Giesen says, pointing towards the Financial District.
The Sefirot, he explains, indicates that the divine exists in everything, “from the human all the way down to the bugs at our feet.” The last leg of Giesen’s tour opens at the beginning of Chinatown. The archway, known as the Dragon Gate, bears a phrase in Chinese, which translates to “all under heaven is for the good of the people.” Onward. Giesen stops to point to two flags that ripple ahead – One from Taiwan, and the other from the People’s Republic of China.
