“And now, as if in response to some unseen voice, the bleebles first expanded and then sang as one, like the gossamer dewdrop at the top of a monkey.” Beautiful. ❤️

Flatland is like one of those movies that can only be understood of you watch it a second time.

The movie is awesome. If you haven seen the animated movie, search for it here on youtube.

I first heard about this book in school when I was a kid and I watched the movie version in school. Also, in youth Sunday School in my church I remember we watched a video sermon by Rob Bell about this book (which now makes sense after listening to it and looking up the author and finding out he was a theologian, although I don’t remember much about the video sermon). Recently I heard someone mention Flatland in a podcast and I decided to listen to it. For starters, I was a little taken aback by how oppressive the world of Flatland is. It’s like a combination of Oceania (from 1984), the earth from Planet of the Apes, Saudi Arabia and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan (the last two because of how they treat women). I know it’s interesting about the dimensions, but the social science is spot on. Definitely enjoyed this book. Also, shout out to the narrator for changing “reader” to “listener” to match the audiobook format.

Me at the start: wow flatland! I loved that movie i should get into the book too Me like 20 minutes in: fuck this guy for real and actual (Edit: a square, not the author. I know this is a social commentary)

Bad book by creationist

Wonderful and thought provoking read

Well i know im a nerd now i want to play a game that takes place in flatland

MASTERPIECE!

I dont even care about bill cypher anymore. This book is just so darn interesting. Ive seen the movie countless times

poor flatlander enjoyers/fans getting a sleepover with gravity falls enjoyers/fans

Assuming flatland has atmospheric effects and light sources, that would make it easier to be able to do things like, say, distinguish a circle from a triangle. The circle would get smoothly brighter or darker in a gradient towards its ends, whereas the triangle would (depending on the direction it’s facing), look like one or two lines where each line has a different single brightness.

1:52:56 Hoffman was actually a loser I guess

The racial profiling bit is so tired but luckily doesn’t last long

I’m in love

10:01 to skip Introduction. part I MEDICINE

The 2009 movie just happened to pop up on my homepage the other day, and I eventually discovered the 80s version, then the 60s version, and now I find out that all of these versions are based on a book that is over 100 years old. Now that's what I call "falling down the rabbit hole" lol

1:35:00

From time to time God sends to Earth such messengers of a world that we do not see. A world that exists in each of us but in which too few of us believe

It is amazing how something over 100 years old could be so accurate a way to define our own interactions with higher dimensions. When he describes the third dimension of flat land as 'being infinitesimally small' it reminded me how I once heard how some scientists theorize that the 4th dimension interacts with us on scales smaller than atoms.

Kingsnorth is a beast!

I’ve gotten too invested.

I just finished listing to Blitzed. Can’t wait to start this one!

who else is here because of the book of bill

gravity falls it is good to be back

666th view

"This omnividence... does it make you more just, more merciful, less selfish, more loving? Not in the least. Then how does it make you more divine?" holy shittttt

what horror there must be to any 2d shape that can see the 3rd dimension. pressing up against everything, all consuming, infinitely large in comparison to the entirety of your entire world (which has been reduced to something infinitely small). the impossibility of ever moving into it, casting your perception of freedom into a new light, in which you recognize you will only ever move in an infinitesimally small fragment of the universe. not to mention the fact that it's inherently impossible to fully comprehend to someone that's 2d, meaning you'd be unable to explain what you're seeing to anyone else. an infinity crushing your flat reality, never actually compressing it but visually swallowing it. i often wonder if a human can ever truly VISUALIZE the 4th dimension. with enough understanding of physics, of space, enough imagination-- is it even possible? or is it unknowable, like trying to invent a new color. i partially think it'd be incredible to comprehend something so alien and unique. but i have to wonder-- would it be terrifying? would it be isolating, would it be an unfathomable horror? no matter what, you'd never be able to look at anything the same way again.

Thank you so much for uploading this book. It has helped me a lot.

Remember Euclidia

thank you and read easy to listen too. but you should not label it full audiobook as many many and some important paragraphs are edited out. thanks
