No. These are different things. One’s an illusion. One’s real.

You’re right. It’s just cheap junk, boring and drab.

so I skimmed

Okay.

It looks like a twist because it does a twist.

No, it’s an illusion at scale. You almost say so yourself in your next sentence.

There’s no angle where you realize the windows don’t actually change planes.

Discreet flat planes constitute an illusion of a curve at scale. There are no curved components. They used offsets and angles in the outer layer. All the windows are flat planes. You can see the rectangles yourself just as you can see the triangles in a geodesic structure’s approximation of a complex curve.

A modern true curve is still often made from wood. If there’s money it’s laminated I-beam. But, curving or twisting structural steel is breaking all sorts of cardinal rules. Assuming safety is valued, cost rises exponentially from construction through build out and into maintenance and repair. An exception is large ships. That’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s very obvious you’re now trying to make a point

An artist and an engineer were given a modest budget and found a way to ask an obvious question to which the is answer is: It depends upon the perspective each of us chooses.

If you look closely you can see the flat planes and angles. There are no curves. You can see the truth of it yourself. It’s right there.

They’re obviously some intelligent people to be designing such things at all. Imagine how many times they’ve been talking about some subject or another and said, “Hey, friend, if you look more closely you can see (whatever truth) for yourself.”

Then the other person says, “It twists.”

Amazing piece of art, huh?

I’m “on about” the quality of communication that defines humans from the other animals, which has been in a nosedive for a quarter century, which is now so heavily corrupted it’s leading us to our doom.

What are you on about? Minimization and what else?

So, it’s an illusion made out of entirely untwisted components. Imagine that.

It’s truthful. I cared enough to tell them.

Wow. I’ve never before seen a comment history so devoid of content and with so little care for presentation that it was reasonable to no longer want to see their posts.

It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.

I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

Karlatornet (lit. ‘The Karla Tower’, initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper under construction by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.

The US. Psychiatrists can Rx. Psychologists cannot. But, they’ve always a psychiatrist in their back pocket who’ll do whatever for a quick buck. If they label themselves “therapist” they’re idiots who couldn’t even hack a MA.

My experiences have clearly demonstrated that anyone accepting money will inhibit progress or have one forever dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Those that provide the best help never asked me for anything in return.

Same goes for education.

That’s fairly expensive for just pandering.

Or pandering and drugs. Help is the exception.

…who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

I think you’re MLK’s “white moderate”: our greatest stumbling block in our stride towards freedom.

A common murderer-for-hire is difficult to hire because they’ll probably take your money and disappear. A muderer-for-hire that won’t get caught is impossible to hire because they don’t advertise to the common person.

If you want the full package then it’ll cost you five to ten years: Commit a somewhat violent crime to avoid being sentenced to minimum security prison. You’ll have lots of time. There’s not much to do except be violent and learn whatever you want from other inmates and books. Choose your friends wisely.
