Why Do People Live In Square Houses?
Well this thought occurred to me last night. We are organic shapes, our natural form is curved, and we're used to viewing our world as a flat surface with a large dome. Why then, have we created a society out of straight lines and squares? It is so unnatural and just feels wrong.
Imagine if all the rooms in your house were circular and domed. I guarantee it would feel so much more natural. Are the straight lines a result of needing a way to measure things? Could we only measure things with straight lines before mathematics? Is it just a functional thing, in that squares fit together more easily than circles? Is it some other simple or complex reason I'm missing entirely?
To be honest, I think that this society should be completely rebuilt around circular aesthetics. I believe society would be more peaceful if we took steps to nuture our souls, and reconnect with nature and our natural forms. I mean, so far, we've been building a society based on many things...but what about catering to our most basic instincts, and continuity with nature.
Everyone should start out by building just one circular, domed room in their home. It's not much, but it's a start.
Break out of the box. Throw the cubes away. Spheres are the future.
