Read and watched all the source material today. It has officially been 41 hours of not sleeping. I literally ended it talking about the symbology of cubes (in reference to the Kaaba) and its either fire or the worst essay I have ever wrote.

and no I am not sharing that shit lol. How is y'all's experience with academia this finals season?

you'd be sorely dissapointed. It was a sectional essay on a documentary. There is one source and it had nothing to due with cubes I just happen to have knowledge and curiosity on the subject. My writing on cube symbolism was raw speculation about why humans might see a cube as divine. My analysis generally boiled down to, cubes are a very artificial shape and maybe to worship them is to revere the human ability to create as divine. Or perhaps the cube appeals to us because our ability to create is what we saw as seperating us from animals. Or maybe we saw our creation as proof of our innate connection to the divine. It isn't that deep as I was pretty tired.
