Floco Tausin's book on Amazon: eye floaters in the art and religion of ancient civlizations

this guy is obsessed with arguing that those eye floaties shaped many ancient civilizations' religions and visual cultures. go off king

Screenshot of article: "The remains of their buildings, steles, clay tables, cylinder seals, paintings, ceramics and metalwork of bronze and iron witness a moving history – and sometimes contain" shapes and symbols that resemble entoptic phenomena. Could parts of the Mesopotamian cultures be influenced by entoptics like shining structure floaters?

1 kinda mid language experience -> my brain: "there's no way this language is real. it must be completely made up and everyone is secretly speaking gibberish as a giant prank"

have u ever tried to learn a language, feel like it's going kind of well, and then listen to a random piece of content in your target language that is almost 100% incomprehensible to you and subsequently wanna explode

i should probably just take more risks and be a cooler person . End of story 👍👍👍

i will fully also admit to being a p risk averse person! i just hate the kind of affective environment that is made up of more and more other highly risk averse people - it's even harder for a person to be open and spontaneous when everyone else is closed / fearful / anxious by default

i do think that his causal explanation (helicopter parenting / "our toxic culture") being to blame for this is stupid / would be much better with a left/more structural analysis, but this is a genuinely interesting phenomenon

i think i should be banned from bluesky for posting a link to a David Brooks op ed but here we go (ignore the annoyingly culture wars-y title) https://nyti.ms/3HIilgC
