Not really a shower thought, I came to this perspective in my dreams. And yes, that night’s sleep absolutely slapped.

    Most of those are quite specific actions and they don’t really add up to “most of our lives”.

    For example I spend at least 8hours watching on landscape-screen at work (and a couple more observing at home). Reading books, menues, using the fridge, riding elevators or observing statues doesn’t really add up to anything close to that.

    Also some examples are a big confusing. Street signs are usually round, square or … landscape. Generally when in traffic you’ll be observing everything in landscape. Or how is standing in-line a portait action?

    I think most people (at least me) are mostly living in landscape.

      Really, this argument you’re both having ignores the greater mystery.

      What the fuck is humans obsession with right angles?

      • They don’t represent our actual visual field
      • They aren’t space efficient.
      • They aren’t strong.

      Yet we have infused them everything.

        Simplicity, is the short answer. Euclidean shapes are easy to conceptualize and reproduce, and rectangles are among the simplest of them
