    How curvy paths deepen our thoughts

    Can a wavy line change our entire society? In this episode, I speak perhaps too quickly about the way curved edges in park paths give us deeper, more spiritual thoughts than straight paths. As the Midwestern states of the US are filled with straight highways and gridline subdivisions, our way of life is structurally at odds with nature. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3502202/ https://www.britannica.com/animal/mastodon https://www.nps.gov/natr/learn/historyculture/chickasaw-history-a-summary.htm https://www.chickasaw.tv/events/the-creek-war https://bpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/voices.uchicago.edu/dist/d/1690/files/2019/10/61A-thought-in-the-park_The-influence-of-naturalness-and-low-level-visual-features-on-expressed-thoughts.pdf Hosted on Acast.

Further, I briefly unwrap why getting good sleep is essential to controlling your dreams and manifesting them into reality. Just your typical podcast stuff.
