It’s wild that linear perspective was invented.
Like, for a long time, this was a completely reasonable way to depict the world.
But if I think about my mental model of what I’m seeing at this moment, it’s automatically in linear perspective. It doesn’t feel like I even need to try, it just is that way.
It makes me wonder what other concepts are shaping (or could shape) my perception in such comprehensive and indelible ways.
