Sacred Geometry people are my math heretics— The mad with power inquisition version of me would want them burned at the stake. As it is? I just seethe at their “incorrect appreciation of geometry”

They worship wrong.

I bought a book of geometric constructions — (not reading about it too carefully...) Just cracked it open. It cheerfully gives instructions for constructing a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon…

A footnote begrudgingly admits the heptagon is only 98.25% correct. 1/

@futurebird i'm trying to remember what "sacred geometry" is and all i can do is imagine a hilarious Sesame Street bit where Bert and Ernie are trying to get Cookie Monster out of his depression because someone's been stealing all the cookies, and they end up infiltrating a cult that worships shapes (the cookies being circles must be "liberated" from their blasphemous and destructive secular use)

@apophis Is a “mostly harmless” new age thing where they draw and color geometric figures to meditate. I now have one of their weird guides for making symmetry likes and feel so disgusted.
