A line, what is a line? I would argue it's an object that has one starting point and one end point in its simplest form. So in other words you can't really make a line that doesn't have a beginning nor an ending, for then it would not be a line. And in fact I bet that you are incapable of drawing or imagining a line that doesn't follow these rules. Could this be a perception trap that keeps us from being able to solve some of the fundamental mysteries of the universe? What if someone that has never been exposed to the concept of what we consider to be a line draws one for you, and it quite obviously is not your definition of it could you see the universe the same way as them? What I'm trying to get at I think is what is it with both the beginning and the end of a line that is so essential to its perception. Could it be that the world around us changes based on how it's perceived and that us defining it “locks” it into place? How does one test this? It would be really interesting to try to raise a child in a white room with 0 human contact, putting it under anesthesia for feedings and seeing how it behaves. Does it even matter? Idk i feel like im having an episode rn
