All our lives, from elementary school up, we're bombarded with a fear of condemnation for being a loser. Don't be a loser, we're told. Only losers play video games. Only losers understand computers. Only losers read. Only losers like girls. Only losers think boys are cute. Don't be a loser. We're told this over and over again, like the cracking whip over a slave in training to a taskmaster who is never disobeyed. The words bite themselves into our skin, engraving themselves on our soul and carving themselves into our hearts. Don't be a loser. Don't be a loser. Don't be a loser.

The Golden Mean is present in an astoundingly remarkable number of phenomena in the universe, including the spiral indicated by water being swirled, the arrangement of a pine-cone, the pattern of leaves and branches on trees, and the seed patterns of plants. Even the arms of a spiral galaxy are presented in a manner that usually matches the Golden Spiral. Some of the greatest music of history, from composers such as Debussy, Chopin, Satie, and various others, has also been based - sometimes inadvertently, such as Debussy's La Mer - on the Golden Ratio.
