Golden ratio is half math and half myth.
We look at nautilus shells and see Golden ratios, but we don’t look at trees, not find it, and disprove it.
We look at things like the pantheon and see elements that fit. But they are approximations of fit, and many other aspects of it do not fit at all.
It is confirmation bias, seeking to find patterns and only talking about the wins. Now designers insert those ratios into their designs, which in turns feeds our perception of balance.
