Powerful truths have simple solutions.

Pythagoras proved this 2,500 years ago.

One day, during a walk, he uncovered a universal secret.

And it would reshape the world as we know it: 🧵 Image
Pythagoras was a mystic.

You probably know him for-

• The Pythagorean Theorem
• Coining the term 'philosophy'
• Founding a secretive cult

But he was about to make the most important discovery of his life:
One day, Pythagoras passed by a blacksmith's workshop.

The clanging of hammers caught his ear.

But not just any clanging. There was a strange harmony in the chaos... Image

This is Sigmund Freud.

He was born today, May 6th in 1856.

A Freudian slip is just your id hitting ‘send’ before your ego can proofread.

Let's check out the enigmatic life of the father of psychoanalysis: 🧵 (thread) Image
Sigmund Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and was born in 1856 with a rare birth anomaly- a caul ( a membrane covering his head and face.)

In folklore, this was seen as a sign of greatness, and his mother believed he was destined for extraordinary things... Image
Freud was a prodigy, and was fluent in eight languages, including:

- German
- French
- Italian
- Spanish
- English
- Hebrew
- Latin
- Greek Image

Before Newton or Einstein, Plato gave us a theory of everything.

In Timaeus, he would map the cosmos with music, math, and myth.

Here’s how it works, and why it still matters: 🧵 thread Image
In Timaeus, Plato imagines the cosmos as the work of a Demiurge.

- A divine craftsman.

This being doesn’t create ex nihilo (out of nothing) but organizes chaos using eternal, unchanging Forms as blueprints.

The result?

A universe brimming with order and beauty...
He distinguishes two realms:

The Eternal World:
Unchanging, perfect, and knowable through reason.

The Physical World:
Ever-changing, imperfect, and grasped through sensation.
The physical world is merely a shadow of the eternal. Image

Raphael was an engineer of Beauty.

His process wasn’t mystical, it was perfectly :

- Thought out
- Planned
- and Executed

Here’s how one of the greatest artists in history actually worked:🧵 (thread) Image
Image
Raphael, like most masters, would begin with a preparatory drawing, called a cartoon.

Cartoons were meticulously planned, sometimes taking months.

Below is the cartoon for The School of Athens by Raphael and measures 9.1 feet high × 26.2 feet wide... Image
Poplar wood boards would then be joined together with calcium caseinate along with supporting cross panels.

The surface was then coated with animal glue.

A layer of calcinated plaster, animal glue and sometimes powdered glass.

Below is the backside of one of Raphael's panels...Image
