Rectangles and squares feel uniquely human. Not many other things in nature make these shapes
It's just the fact, that they are rather easy to make, since you just need to draw a line between two points and continue from there. Humans are attached to that. It helps to dis- and reassemble the world in a simple methodical way. The eye can more easily align itself with lines. Why? In fact lines are very unnatural and disturbing for us. That's how we got to make use of them. Imagine the street and houses around you were based on fractals. You'd possibly turn crazy and disoriented in no time, trying to make sense of everything. By the way, fuck cubism and Picasso in particular!

Yeah, not nearly enough spousal and child abuse or screwing over the other founding members until The Great Woz comes in later to pay from his own shares.
what a square
Rectangles fake, fractals real
