at a minimum I think star bathing has individual benefits similar to forest bathing (reduced anxiety / increased serenity etc), but I suspect there's more to it re: law of conservation of meaning.https://twitter.com/wminshew/status/1042084135030808576 …

what other effects might star bathing have on human psychology? how might it effect our cohesiveness as a species?

my hypothesis is that as nature as fades from our collective psyche, as we become less aware of humanity's place w/i the greater universe/stars, we become more focused on "our" place w/i humanity us vs the universe devolves into us vs them

simplified: the less meaning we derive from pve (player vs environment), the more meaning we try to create from pvp (player vs player)

what % of humanity gets to star bathe every night? how has that changed over the last ~200 years? how has that affected imagination at the individual & societal levels?

imo our inability to see the stars [well] from cities is perhaps the most tragic (& potentially destructive) aspect of modern living

if anyone's privy to relevant psychological studies on how human's are effected by consistent access to well-starred skies would love to read [not presently aware of any]

This hit me suddenly and hard when I saw a time-lapse video of the Milky Way for the first time. Wrote about it here: https://thicketforte.com/2018/07/16/the-milky-way/ …

well written! I had my best star viewing hunting in the middle nowhere west texas, so I can imagine how great the time-lapse must have been

I like to think about the combination of stronger stars plus a much lower informational noise background which would lead our minds to really reach for meaning vs block out meaning. Constellations must have been really powerful back then.
