- A retrospective on the world's most common shape, and its place in the media of our lives.
Some of the music in this video and most of my others was purchased as an album from C418’s bandcamp: c418.bandcamp.com C418 is unique in giving small creators like me permission to use his music without fear of demonetization.
Some stock footage and images were obtained from pexels.com

holy shit this only has 192 views? i thought this was a huge video essay dude this is awesome
Thanks! seems like the algorithm is giving it some steam thanks to Nice comments like yours!
I thought I was watching a big video essay channel, that was really good I hope your channel blows up!!
This is so well produced and researched I thought I was watching an 'established' creator. This is really good for how little recognition it's gotten so far.
I think you made rectangles my enemy
Yes indeed
I was not expecting to learn about why aspect ratio is what it is but now im mad about aspect ratio what the heck
fascinating video! really loved it. answered so many questions i never knew mattered to me
I just watched your Fallout show video and now this. Definitely subscribing, and very happy I found your work. It looks like you did a bunch of Bioshock videos I’m looking forward to watching too.
Haha! Thanks. The BioShock content is dated so be ready for some quality issues lol. But it is one of my favorite series and it effectively launched the channel.
Commenting to reserve my spot in the autograph line when you get rich and famous.
Oh, to be a cave dweller drawing on a cave wall, free of influence
When people talk about the "old masters" they can't even get on the level of the real OGs
Goated video. Keep it up
Thanks to the algorithm, I was treated to this nice vdieo. Thank you!
Commenting to feed the algorithm. TH-cam has been recommending new videos from small channels to me pretty consistently the last year or so, which is great to see, but they are very frequently AI generated and not very engaging. Finally, a fresh video with some effort put in to it! It is maybe not as profound as it is trying to be in some places, but it is packed with good knowledge and insight, and by golly it's clearly crafted by human hands and voiced by human vocal cords.
with the durge of ai text to speach garbage on youtube, this video is a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for feeding the TH-cam
Great video
Really great video! Now I'm painfully aware of all retangles in my life help
That's step 1, step 2 is up to you
Just wow. Your mind is beautiful.
That's very kind to say, thank you for watching
Also you wrote this the moment I checked my comments, I just realized how instant my response was lol. Didn't mean to startle you
lol nah I’m just thankful you’re thankful and really hear me because, this video and I’m sure many more videos or other stuff you’ll make in the future really, leave an impact because it’s from the heart and is made with care and patience. This kinda stuff snowballs and is just beautiful so, please continue to share and be intentional. You’re a blessing.
I wonder how dreams have changed throughout history. I’m assuming there’s a pretty strong link between visual data and dreams. And I wonder how they were produced in the first place during REM.
Fascinating idea. When I was a kid I distinctly remember I watched all of my dreams from a sort of viewing chamber. It was a black steel box with tan gravel on the ground. One day inexplicably I became a participant in the dreams and not a viewer. Never understood why.
Absolutely obsorbed by this. Your writing is very captivating and this video rly captured my attention. Whats the song around 14:00?
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can get the specific song for ya later but everything in this video is off of the C418 album: life changing moments seem minor in pictures
Song is called: 26
This is an amazing video! ▅
I'm glad you like it

wow yes please. this is extremely, entirely, my sht. please keep making stuff.
why are the rectangular minerals obscure? seems like an arbitrary distinction made to imply human exceptionalism. and notice how you only show pictures of ancient stone buildings; preservation bias needs to be accounted for. those ancient people who drew only organic shapes might have lived in wooden structures full of right angles, and we would have no way of knowing. maybe they did have a concept of bad drawings, and we just can't distinguish them from the good ones with our contemporary lens. maybe only certain types or classes of people were allowed to draw in caves. innumerable possibilities abound because we know so little about them. i hope this comment isnt too aggro i love the video overall im just so stoned
Basing obscurity on overall rarity. Admittedly it is a bit vague, but I think its a safe assumption that anyone plopped on a primordial earth would be fairly hard pressed to find some bismuth crystals, even if they knew what they were looking for. I also agree that we know very little about the social classes and life styles of pre-neolithic humans. However, their drawings are distinctly unconfined and distinctly geometry-less compared to other art found in human history, but my explanation of why is reliant on assumptions as opposed to any distinct archeological fact (aside from the objects and drawings that did survive in the fossil record). That being said, not all the buildings are stone, there are some mud, clay and stucco structures. Modern isolated tribes and indigenous communities certainly use right angles in much less durable materials. We definitely started using right angles pretty much as soon as we started building and that undoubtedly includes temporary and improvised housing that time consumed a very long time ago.
Also your comment doesn't seem agro at all! Thanks for watching the video and engaging with it! I appreciate ya big time!
Commenting to aid you in the algorithm
its working! thanks
Oh yea new upload!
