I feel like this video's general assertion that the Golden Ratio is "bullshit" is too vague to really be meaningful at all. Maybe in the sense of whether a certain piece of art is esthetically pleasing, sure that makes sense, after all the appeal of art is subjective. What is interesting and more important about the golden ratio is its mathematic and geometric relationship with the Fibonacci sequence as well as nature, celestial bodies, etc. By saying the ratio is simply "bullshit" gives the impression that the ratio is in fact not prevalent in nature or worthy of any real note which is just untrue.

When KZitem creators start to refine their content to try and generate maximum engagement, they often choose titles that are deliberately controversial. ‘Make a bold statement that your viewers might disagree with and they will watch it.’ This video is about psychology and clickbait, not science or art. The creator probably doesn’t mind whether or not his argument makes sense, or if he might easily be proved wrong, his intention was simply to generate maximum views from lovers and skeptics of the golden ratio alike.

This video, like most of the videos on this channel, are about niche design topics, subcultures and trends that only aim at expressing a point of view and creating discourse around our world. If numbers really were my focus I would upload videos about paying strangers on fiver to redesign logos and critiquing the results. I upload when I have something meaningful to say.

It’s ok, I don’t mind harsh criticism or disagreements, I just wanted to let you know my intentions behind the video. Clickbait is a ploy to get someone to click on your video, usually with a controversial title, or an outrageous thumbnail, only to then serve them with either disappointing or outright unrelated content. Clickbait used to be a thing because KZitem used to count views through clicks on a video. This hasn’t been the case for a looong time, and getting someone to click on a video with an alluring thumbnail only to have them leave 20 seconds in because you tricked them is actually going to hurt the performance of your content. The number one metric to aim for now is audience retention, which is the polar opposite of what you used to get with clickbait. As far as the youtube career: I don’t want to be a KZitemr whatever it takes, I want to have a successful KZitem channel at my own terms, making content I like. So that’s my only focus along with the dialogue that my videos may provoke. That’s it. I don’t make trendier videos because I’m not interested in that type of content, and I wouldn’t want to have a career that depends on it. It’s not the about the title, it’s what you do every day that’s important. I don’t think I’m in a position to give any advice, but if I had to I’d just say- make the best content you can every single time you upload. Everything else is noise.

Golden ratio is a part of nature, even your body length proportion have it, at the beginning this concept is beeing used to create the architectural design, painting arts, or even statue looks as natural as possible. That natural perception shaped because we as human see a lot of that kind of proportion since the day we birth. In modern day, this concept is not that practical anymore, since a good design should be "Form Follow Function." the functionality is improving so much during modern day, hence we need more dynamic design concept rather than a conventional golden ratio. But that doesn't mean the golden ratio is bullshit, it's like a stairs in a modern hotel, using lift is always more efficient and the easiest way to go, but in case of emergency, you need to get back to basic.

Without asserting whether or not it's actually true, here are the rationale behind the Golden Ratio being more pleasing: 1. The golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence both do show up in nature, for the perfectly mundane reason that things build up progressively when growing. The size of the nautilus shell naturally increases in proportion to its existing size, as does the accumulation of actual flowers inside a sunflower (which is not a flower, but a bank of tiny flowers with yellow leaves surrounding it). 2. Therefore the ratio/sequence will show up a lot in nature, and it can be advantageous to perceive it. This can help differentiate between something beneficial and something similar-looking that is not. To tell whether the thing a fish is about to attack is an actual nautilus, or some debris. 3. Therefore recognizing it, albeit a small benefit, may have enough to build up over the course of three billion years. Bonus factor: Accumulating factors occur even in our own brains. So aside from evolutionary advantage, we may have a recognition of the ratio/sequence in our own minds, just incidentally.

Start with a random rectangle with sides a(0) > b(0) in any ratio, not necessarily golden ratio. Then, continue building smaller rectangles according to the recursion that makes the golden spiral a(n+1) = b(n), b(n + 1) = a(n) - b(n). The ratio of sides follows a recursion r(n+1) = a(n+1)/b(n+1) = 1/(r(n) - 1), with a fixed points r*(r - 1) = 1 => r = (1 +/- sqrt(5))/2 The positive ratio is the golden ratio phi and one can show it is a stable fixed point. So, the rectangles you obtain by this procedure quicky converge to the shape of the golden ratio. You can reverse the procedure and make larger rectangles a(n + 1) = a(n) + b(n) , b(n + 1) = a(n) With the ratio satisfying r(n+1) = 1 + 1/r(n) and fixed points r^2 - r - 1 = 0 => r = (1 +/- sqrt(5))/2 Again, the stable fixed point is the golden ratio phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2. In this regard, the golden rectangle is a stable shape.

I do, however your processor/ graphics card can't render anything past a certain level of detail. Your screen is made out of pixels which are the smallest unit under which you really can't go (you can't light half a pixel or a quarter of a pixel.) When you're dealing with measurements with three decimal what's past that is simply useless: it won't make any difference when looking at it and the software itself will probably discard that information after a certain threshold. Plus there's really no way of representing an irrational number (that has an infinite number of decimals) with a finite length without approximation. That's simply a fact of geometry and algebra. That being said, even if you did render it with even more precision I really don't see how the difference between 1.618 and 1.618033 could be appreciable by the naked eye.

It is because the ratio was observed in many shapes and proportions that WE humans find aesthetically pleasing or attractive. Like face features, length of arms, fingers, body height and its distribution, complex flowers, seeds and plants, storms, etc. The relationship between the ratio and aesthetics did not come from its simple occurrences in nature but rather from its pattern of occurrence in many shapes that we find attractive.

Ok, good video, I see your point but I think you missed a few other things. Your focus is on mathematics, things/objects and motivation for money. Very materialistic, mundane and empty of meaning. You also mentioned "good taste", probably the most subjective phrase anyone could ever use. What is good "good taste" when one man's meat is another man's poison? The Golden Ratio is not BS because the parallel is that the pattern/sequence emerges in nature too. It's everywhere in life but you just haven't noticed it. Some things look more appealing to others because the frequency of such recurring patterns are familiar, recognizable and pleasing. But everyone's different. If you see only BS, you tend to project that onto others. The emergent patterns of nature in a sequence like the Fibonacci and Golden Ratio, help me to identify reasons why life is so magical and not BS. One last thing, the beginning of every sequence is always a bit awkward, sensitive, difficult, new. Ever seen an albatross take off? Therefore, the imperfection or inaccuracy of the sequence somehow suggests this in its representation only furthering the idea that it's more closely aligned to nature than you're willing to see. The Golden Ratio is not bullshit in my opinion for the reasons above.

Yeah the video has nothing to do with most of what you said. I haven't focused on mathematics, i don't care about the golden ratio in that field and all of its properties and the fact that it appears in nature is close to meaningless. What's the connection between something being spontaneously generated in nature and something being appealing? This false equation "natural" = "good" is beyond simplistic. Disease is natural, chaos is natural, catastrophes are natural and none of those are particularly appealing to people. Nature is filled with millions of patterns, some much more fundamental and common than the golden ratio (think of exponential growth, Pareto distribution...), and yet no one claims they hold the keys to the perfect beauty. The little evidence we do have about the golden ratio actually disproves the idea that people find its shapes more appealing. It just takes a second to see past the myth: Designers claim some shapes are in a special proportion and then go on and bash them together in a design where they overlap and mix them together with no coherence of rules. As if the final result has anything to do with the starting shapes or the mathematical equation that generated them. It's the laziest most casual pseudoscientific approach you could take. To close I'd say i do believe in good taste and i do believe that there is such a thing as objective beauty. I firmly believe my taste is better than the average person's and that my job is to educate people on that. That's what designers do. That's what my clients pay me to do.

When I see videos holding up golden rectangles onto famous art pieces and arcitecture it doesn't even fit very well. Surely if they were using this ratio when designing they would have made it perfect? The proponants of 'golden ratio is everywhere' theory force it onto where it doesn't exist all the time and people just accept it like they are blind, like they can't see that it doesn't actually fit. It's so loose that I can't believe it was used by the designers. And they fudge it by arbitrarily using more golden sections within the original.

Seems you're frustrated or upset with the way people are drawn to it or all the spirit "woo woo" stuff related to it. Maybe you don't know math well enough to see how often this pattern shows up, how it's formed - how the galaxy, a hurricane, a wave cresting, etc etc etc all have this proportion. over rated? Maybe. The question is this, I suppose - did some creator make the golden ratio and is that why it appears in so many places? or, because it creates adaptability, efficiency, and momentum, is it just a byproduct of being the most efficient way to make something happen. For water molecules to come together as they travel due to force like a wave, or the hot and cold molecules spiraling and forming a storm which gets stronger and picks up momentum like a hurricane - or a plant whose spiral vines allow it to grab on and adapt to its surroundings. I had done a video where I talk about what it means to me, symbolically. It's like love - in the sense that when you love someone, you do what is good for their nature. You want them to adapt, be efficient, be their best, and to gain momentum and flourish. This particular proportion sometimes does that. From the ways we see it as an elephant's trunk or duck's neck - so that they can bend and be flexible, or the way you close your hand and the bones form a spiral - your fist bump is a spiral bump. It's not BS in that it's actually a thing, replicable, and seen everywhere - and mathematical. But it's arguably bs in what people use it to justify and mean spiritually. But even that, we can't be sure. It was once called God's fingerprint. But again - the question is, does it indicate a creator or creative pattern (blueprint) - or is it a product of evolving for adaptability and efficiency? I happen to think it's the former but if it was proven it was the latter, I'd be fine with that. No way to prove either, though.

Thanks for the videos! Whenever I hear about theories behind colors and golden ratio, I wonder if they really make sense and if people took them into account during the design process. I studied Fine Arts and work in graphic design and always suspected these theories, but who am I to disagree ?! lol. I believe they are a way to show the client during a pitch how much knowledge you have and thus base your final design within a technique that not everyone has access to, that is, to value their own work. I remember one time at the university that a friend made a sculpture of a cross in styrofoam and on the eve of the delivery decided to use spray paint and ended up melting part of the styrofoam. As he didn't have time to make another one, he changed his speech during the presentation, justifying the melting of the material as a deliberate choice, a way of expressing the decay of that symbol...He got top marks due to an error with a solid speech behind it! My takeaway is: do whatever looks beautiful and make up a rationale behind it to impress and help convince your clients!

Thank you very much, sir! Loved the story. I remember doing something similar in my first year of university in my Art Direction class: we had this graphic design project we had to make based on traditional tales from our region. It was the final exam and we had to choose a classmate with whom we would work with. The final product turned out pretty solid, especially considering it was my first real extensive project, and I was super excited to present it. We printed the whole thing the day prior to the exam and later that night we realized that one of our patterns had been printed upside down on the last page. My friend panicked for a minute and then I came up with a clever justification for it-- something like "it symbolizes how our expectations as readers have been turned upside down since the beginning of the story." My professor loved the idea. Got the highest score. That day I learned two great lessons in our field: -Never print ONE DAY before an assignment -If you do and something is fucked find a way to sell it anyways.😂

This isn't that impressive on its own. Until you realise that this ratio is the key to everything from encrypting computer data, to the numbers of spirals on a sunflower head, our own limbs and why the Mona Lisa is so pleasing to the eye. Some have argued that because the sequence seems to grow in an 'organic' way, the golden ratio may play a part in nature. The ratio of 1.618 has already been found externally all over the human body. It usually marks the proportion of your hand to your forearm as well as the distance between your three knuckles on each finger. The spiral numbers in a sunflower will always total a Fibonacci number, while dividing those pointing right and left will give you two consecutive Fibonacci numbers linked by the ratio 1.68. These spiral patterns are also found in pineapples, cauliflowers and pine cones.

I can say that at least for film, the golden ratio for the most part is indeed bullshit because there's no way to keep framing or composition consistent with a golden ratio. Sure, there are the very small sector of people that will meticulously compose the shot so that it is perfectly symmetrical. Most times, you can easily tell when this filmmaking is done, and by and large this has the opposite of expected consequence : It stands out. Shotgun-like, handheld cinematography...like Bourne Identity, Spring-breakers and what not...are great examples of how perfect symmetry and framing is not an objective quality standard at all. After watching enough films, i finally realized why filmmakers make statements like this in interviews : "Film is about what story you want to tell." It's clear to me now, that film is about EMOTION and telling a story...not about any objective quality measure but a subjective expression of ones ideas to another. 2nd thing that also solidified my beliefs, was studying mathematics itself for a long time. After studying many aspects of math, you realize just how arbitrary mathematics is. Not in a bad way, but in a good way : The fact that mathematics is arbitrary, is what allows us to construct an unlimited number of logic systems where anything can make sense (deriving theorems from sets of axioms) And ironically, it is this property of being arbitrary, that allows us to go on to create stories that seem logical. It is the arbitrariness of mathematics, that allows us to express stories. Fibonacci and Golden Ratio are just one, of a large set of functions and relationships between numbers...and beyond that, is that you don't have to stop yourself at numbers, but just logic systems in general, and the sky becomes the limit.

So the real golden ratio value is not 1.618, the real one is where you take as many numbers after the dot as possible. Hope this will benefit someone. Peace.

honestly, I find the golden ratio to be beautiful in math more than nature, but that’s probably because I’m not really into nature (I spend more time trying to do maths than touching grass lmao). And the math applications are sometimes just really surprising. I remember seeing an integral which was something like: The integral of 1/(1+x^φ)^φ. I forgot the actual limits of integration, (I’m pretty sure it was 0 to 1), but the answer was one. One. It blew my mind five times. Also, the golden ratio’s properties are just satisfying. φ² = φ + 1, φ − 1 = 1/φ, and some others that I can’t remember precisely (like the Fibonacci numbers being in the powers of phi (I think)). Ps: don’t misinterpret my moment; I agree with you. I personally don’t believe that the golden ratio suddenly makes a design “better” either. Some proportions MAY be better for the eyes, but I’m not a scientific expert so I’m not going to try to make any concrete claims. However, I doubt that everything would look better with the golden ratio.

The example of the golden rectangle used shows a basic misunderstanding of what the golden ratio is. The Golden Ratio (Phi) is a limit defined by the Fibonacci sequence. The higher any two consecutive numbers you choose in the sequence, the clsoer you will come to the golden ratio, but it will never actually reach the actual irrational value. So saying the squares making up the golden rectangle aren't accurate is a pointless exercise, because it's actually impossible to produce exact measurements on paper. Anything we try to put on paper will be an approximation to some degree.

That’s true, I probably wasn’t very clear on what the Fibonacci sequence is. However in my example I’m simply trying to show how the most popular way of building a golden ratio “palette” is wildly inaccurate if 1.618 is the ratio you’re aiming for. Like you said, since it’s a limit the gap will tend to close and by the end you’ll have shapes that are quite close to 1.618 in relationships with each other, but if you stick to that method you’ll probably build something off by quite a margin.

‘Man ignores centuries of wisdom and observable natural law to generate clicks’. The significance of the golden ratio is how it creates unity between the parts and the whole. I defy anyone not marvel at it after reading Scott Olsen’s little book ‘The Golden Section - Nature’s Greatest Secret’ - and learning how this mathematically beautiful ratio can be found not just in 2D design but also in the rotational positioning of leaves on a stem and the most efficient packing of seeds in the head of a sunflower, not to mention also music and 3D forms. Anyway, this was a stylishly edited video so for that at least I applaud you.

@Alastair_Freebird

In my opinion, those elements of nature that are widely considered to be pleasing or beautiful do often exhibit Fibonacci numbers or golden section proportions or - to me the most fascinating - the golden angle. And the cool thing about the Fibonacci sequence is that it starts as an approximation to the golden ratio but steadily and definitively tends towards ‘phi’ like a diminishing sinewave eventually flattening out to the mid point. And while there is always room for arguing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder (which I believe is effectively what you are saying when you question that my perception of natural beauty in the golden section is objectively beautiful) my response would be this: the golden section is mathematically beautiful because it builds an inherent unity into the parts that make up the whole. And - in my opinion - unity of intent is a key tenet of good design. My training is in architecture not graphic design so I accept this may not all translate to a different medium. But buildings tend to look ugly when a window or gable or column is randomly placed, with little sense of context or connection to the whole composition. Arbitrary choices are not (usually) consistent with good design. But when the continuous ratio of the golden section is applied, it creates a relation between - for example - the short side of a window to the long side of the window, which in turn relates to the whole, and which in turn may relate to the proportion of the whole storey, and so on. And while many of the general population may not know the mathematics behind this, it has for centuries held true that many people simply ‘appreciate’ classical architecture, and other arts that draw heavily on these principles.

While I love math, sometimes mathematicians get carried away and force fit their ideas on nature. Another example is the Black - Scholes model for options trading which absolutely is NOT used to set prices.

I agree that the golden ratio isn't the be-all and end-all of design. It is one part of a system of design (see ""The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry" by Jay Hambidge ). My point is that this system can be generated with just a compass and a straight edge ( which is more precise geometrically ) and at the time it was first employed higher math had not been commonly known, so to plot, say the pyramids, you only needed enough rope, two sticks, and a straight piece of wood.

Golden ratio is real, but I see no reason to follow it in the graphical design or art in general. You have to be a degenerate to accept of dismiss someones work based on this shitty wireframe.

@3:23 Correct. Even the Apple logo designer said it was not based on the Golden Ratio and there have been multiple-yet similar-Apple logo designs.

In my opinion, the golden ratio is actually used to show the existence of God. not to be used to design a masterpiece to be the same as God's masterpiece.

I've seen it used to compare other peoples faces which I think is very racist because they are trying to pass a message meaning that certain people are genetically inferior which is totally racist.

This video exposes the king's new (nude) clothes. For a long time I was skeptical but too afraid and too busy with life to try and do what you just did. It is similar to Nostradamus - you can just about make any of his quatrain to fit any events in history (note history - past eventts). You can take any picture, building or just about anything and make the squares fit.

*What I find as equally mesmerizing is how those whom affiliate themselves with "Mainstream Academia"* overwhelmingly share an observable need to focus on: 1) validating their choice of "belief" by criticizing that which does not, or appears to not, support their choice of identification. Note: "Mainstream Academia" and most frequently the "Mainstream Archaeologists", are referenced as having established *"a Paradigm and Timeline based on a 19th Century Theory* as it's foundation", they also often use this "Theory based Paradigm " as a tool of measure, such that any subject, artifact, data set, etc, that does not fit into or support this Paradigm, and that then is deemed: inaccurate, not authentic, and subsequently they ignore, discard, destroy, and often criticize, that subject, idea, artifact, History, data, etc, *"even in some cases, finds that are "Peer Reviewed and Journal Published". Having been trained in Research and the Social Sciences, degrees in: Sociology, History, and Journalism, I was instructed in the *"Standards of Science and Research".* These include the following statements: *"(The mind is to be fully open and free of any predetermined personal or professional Beliefs, Theories, Ideas, or Opinions,...), (using all relative data, artifacts, Written or Oreal History, etc), (allowing for the already proven math, statistics, Research Methodologies, to extract the greater Facts) 2) I've observed Mainstream Academics publically and privately criticizing their Peers whom may have different Theories, Outcome Findings, and Perspectives, and literally name calling, accusing them of being *"Pseudoscientists, promoting Psuedoscience".* I have 2 points to highlight on this subject: ▪️Academics are well served to practice: an established habit of being "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind", as all positive Thought Energies are found in the Higher Mind and that is where Wisdom resides. ▪️In order to qualify as one representing Psuedoscience, they must be operating outside the *"Standards of Science and Research".* I would remind the reader that Theories may not be represented as Facts, when following the "Standards of Science and Research" Therefore, "Mainstream Academics" and their "Paradigm"* are not representative of and are in opposition to to the *"Standards of Science and Research".

You're getting yourself confused. The golden ratio is a pattern expressed widely in nature and explained mathematically by humans. What you're referring to is it's inappropriate use, or more specifically the inappropriate use of the term 'the golden ratio'.
