@astrid@fedi.astrid.tech @lily@glaceon.social also "minor seventh" is also the name of a chord so I assumed we were using the ratios of all the notes in that chord and it sounded very silly but no, they're doing a perfectly reasonable thing and just *calling* it something silly

@andrewt@mathstodon.xyz @lily@glaceon.social I hate everyone's obsession with the golden ratio so much. It's an interesting number mathematically but for literally none of the reasons anyone thinks it's interesting. They'll go impose a spiral or ratio onto literally anything, it won't even be aligned, there's enough tolerance that they can get away with it, and they're like "wow cool universal constant" when no, you're just doing designerist numerology
