Is the golden ratio overhyped?

>>9122453
yes

>>9122453
yes
humanities fags popularised it in ignorance and memes

people slap the golden spiral over any old logarithmic spiral and just pretend not to notice it doesn't fit

see: OP pic

it's a forgotten art.

>>9122453
Nope, it's maybe the simplest irrational number that represents a geometrically meaningful quantity.

Not exactly.

Does it even have any other significance than its aesthetic qualities? I know it pops up in nature a lot but does it have any other importance?

What if the spiral in OP's pic is not a golden spiral?

Us humans love things who are symmetric and harmonized

I don't know where that picture originally came from, but it is definitely stated to be a golden spiral in lots of places around the internet. I'm not going to waste time estimating the positions of those dots to see how good the fit is.

Yes. It's just a pattern that happens to work well for a number of organisms. There are other patterns that occur naturally and don't get nearly the same hype as muh golden ray-she-oh.
And lots of people mistake Pascal's triangle and logarithmic spirals for the golden ratio.

In a way it is but that's not to discredit the entire idea behind geometry and it's implications on a single creator.

Past masters definitely saw a life force behind every living thing. You could say that they saw traces of our creator's fingerprint in nature.

>It doesn't matter if it's true or not so long as my preconceptions aren't getting challenged

>>9122453
Yes. For example, golden spirals almost never occur in nature. Your picture is a simple exponential spiral, but if you show someone a spiral they won't know the difference.

Also, that's one specific shell, not the average shell. There are so many, it's not hard to find one to which can fit basically any curve.
You can "find" any pattern in anywhere, if you are obsessed enough. Pareidolia is not only about human faces.

Indeed, brother. There is life force in all of us and our creator's fingerprint culminates in it's magnum opus - thai ladyboys.

Thank you, Jesus.

Yeah, I'm sure the Bible writes about thai ladyboys, too. In hidden, secret code, of course, but you can find it.

Does Bible foretell the emergence of catgirls?

Searcheth and you will findeth. The Bible is full of dirty things. I'm sure you will find what you need with the help of Jesus (and this handy website: http://www.biblecodewisdom.com/).
