Isn't it strange how the number 4 seems to pop up everywhere disproportionately in our society in contexts where any other number would seemingly be just as good? Why 4? Cars have four wheels and most of them are 4-cylinders (well, outside North America), buildings and architecture are based on rectangles with four corners, university studies last 4 years for a bachelor, the number "13" which pervades the US Dollar note numerologically totals 4, and the world's most successful car, the Toyota Corolla, has a numerological vowle value of 2x 13/ 4.
In music, you get the four as an important element, and in the Tarot, the four symbolizes the very thing our society is so great at - worshipping dead things.
Where can I read up on this? I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this stuff?
