I know the Muslim scholars of Baghdad during the golden age of arabic science played with the camera obscura. It was probably through the Moors on the Iberian peninsula that this idea reentered western european consciousness like so much other knowledge about the lost classical world. I know the Dutch had a monopoly on the best glass lens technology for a long time. It’s suspected by some, but IDK, that the imprint of Christ in the Turin Shroud was created with some kind of camera obscura.

Writing helps me take the soupy sloth of my mind and commit it into a linear form so others can follow my train of thoughts. Reading and writing is how I discovered how much I have in common with the internal workings of other people, even though staying focused is hard. When you’re able to align your special interests and intellectual captures with the idea that the answers are in books of other written info and that writing will help you find other people with answers, it becomes possible to wolf down the written word and write volumes in turn despite the ADHD. It happens in sprints and jolts and usually at the last minute. I do love to procrastinate for some reason. There’s nothing like catastrophic levels of pressure to force my focus. Lol.
