    Cause it’s an extraordinarily simple symbol that can even be found in the cross section of certain trees. Behind the Bastards did a two parter on the history of this shape and all the names it has had.

      Simple symbol? What craziness are you talking about? The next thing you’ll tell me is that “humans” are able to come up with a shape of a 3d triangle on their own, in different places, without extraterrestrial help.

      I’ve only seen that kind of innovation with children playing with blocks.
