Now this idea is muddled and vague, as it was formed in that no-man's-land between consciousness and dream state as I passed in and out of sleep.
But say the ideas you traffic in and the emotional way in which you interface with these ideas can translate to your interactions in the material world.
Let's say you hold a certain position, a dogmatic religious position, such as a specific religious doctrine. Well we can imagine the shape of your thinking self as that of a square: it is sharply delineated and it takes on a very specific shape that is only compatible with other similar ideas. And so if you come across another individual idea or even an opposing idea, those rigid delineations clash with one another until either the opposing side yields or you both become more rounded.
I conceptualize it like this because square-like shapes in the material world behave this way when they are placed together. And I don't know much about audio engineering, but it seems to me like the signals that are designated as "square" produce tones that actually sound like they have an edge.
And so it follows if you allow for more nuance and flexibility in your intellectual positions, you will end up a more rounded, organic shape that doesn't clash as harshly with the other ideas to be found in the world.
Of course, squares are perfectly okay in the world of objects, but then when it comes to people it is probably a better idea to not be grinding each other into dust all the time.
Eh, okay. Something to build off of later.
