I heard about this awhile ago and filed it under dumb facebook shit, but now my grandmother wants us all to read this book that "says some real interesting stuff about what shapes say about the world". Is there anything I should know about this particular type of nonsense?
It's just arbitrarily placing (metaphysical/spiritual) significance on patterns, shapes, and numbers.
Alan Moore has some interesting ideas about how architecture and design is used for oppression and discipline. The guy from Well There's Your Problem did a good video about how neoclassical architecture ties into enlightenment thought.
I guess it depends on which way she's saying shapes say interesting things about the world. Although she may have found a grimoire of arcane geometries and it's compelling her to reveal the occluded calculus to you all.
Got a link to this? It sounds interesting.
Not the person you were replying to but I'd hazard a guess it's on his now-abandoned youtube, which is where WTYP was launched from
Nah man there will be a new episode of Franklin any day now, you just wait
