I've never actually heard them vocalize anything. I've heard them whistling and the time they chased us out of the forest they made this like expelling a ton of air sound.

The ceilings one is way simpler.

When you spend a lot of time in a place with low ceilings it makes you subconsciously feel trapped. After a while of it your actions and behavior will likely start to reflect that and you will probably be less likely to do anything that you can for your future.

You don't get that in a place with higher ceilings.

I think that people being in overly light polluted areas for their entire lives is or at least is a major part of what's wrong with society these days.

When you go out at night and look at a sky completely filled with stars it makes you feel a certain way. Full of wonder, small, curious. Conversations always go in the "what if" or "what do you think about" sort of direction. It really puts you in your place in a strangely calm, thoughtful , and healthy way. And the more you can see, the better. If the Milky Way is visible it just puts you in awe.

People don't get to experience that very often, if at all, when they live in a populated area.

I think that is by design.

If you cannot just go outside and get that huge feeling of idk existential wonder, you're going to get hard coded into your personal fears and beliefs and all that whatnot. This drives the population apart. Meanwhile, all forms of light pollution measures are either deemed too expensive or just not enforced. At least in my area. And large amounts of the population live somewhat close to an airport. Never really gets dark at night near an airport...

Anyways that's my ted talk about how light bulbs are ripping society apart by its very fibers. Next up is how ceilings are a conspiracy to keep the poors underfoot if anyone wants to hear it.

Might not fit in this thread but here goes.

My family used to have a cabin that was at a lake several hours out in the mountains and pretty isolated except for a few rich people who lived up there. Place was, and I shit you not, infested with Sasquatches.

Every 4th of July I would go up there to watch the rich people light off their fireworks and immediately after, I had found a logging trail that a large group of them would gather with their babies and all. I think to watch the fireworks. They'd let me get a little bit closer every year until my family sold the cabin. The last time I went there I took a couple friends and they chased us out of the forest until a car's headlights scared them off... That's also the most scared I've ever been.

For obvious reasons I don't want to share the location of this lake..
