They’re thick, but probably not unusually so. I’m nearsighted at about the -6 level.

I always thought it was a play on a time count before a song: “a one, and-ee two, and-ee …”, but I could never make it work out right and that bothered my brain.

That’s pretty well how it goes for me too IRL. Out of sight, out of mind, don’t need words at all.

But here we spend a lot of electrons talking and thinking about him. In which case having some noun others will recognize is useful.

Now whether the time & brain bytes so occupied are put to a good or healthy use … well, I’m going to leave that lie one fallow. YMMV of course.

The Bible does have that figure.

It goes by the name Satan.
