there are mathematical ratios, and other things that consistently produce appreciation from humans for evopsych reasons
yeh
this consistency causes some people to claim that beauty is objective
If people disagree on what beauty is isn't that a sign that its subjective?
eh, its two ways of describing the same thing imo
yeah, but we discard the opinions of unhealthy ppl 🙂
i mean unhealthy

Even healthy people have different tastes

sure
i can even make an evopsych reason for why fairer skin is more attractive than darker skin
it;s for the same reason that kitchens in high clas restaurants are all white
That's what I thought tbh. I'm not really sure what Kantbot is on about with this "taste is objective" nonsense but I do agree with his opinions on the current state of fantasy fiction.
and operating rooms
its a bit like the claim "words have no meaning because somebody somewhere *could* use a word to mean something totally different than what is understood by its use generally"
you should understand what people mean when they say taste is objective
I think someone's taste can be indicative of certain desirable personality traits but this isn't the same as taste being objective.
its objective in the sense that humans consistently recognize that taste, and that taste is based in some evopsych reason
I mean, to me the word objective means its universally true, as in its even true to non humans or robots or aliens.
nothing fulfils that definition of objective
Yeah, I think most things are subjective
no, literally nothing
at least
I can't think of anything
that would fulfil the definition of objective as you put it here
so my standard for 'objectivity' is quite a bit lower
it's worthless
I think thats only a problem if you try to over rationalise everything
Human beings have limits we all live fine with these limits its not a problem
So, liking big titty elf mages as opposed to the original origin of wizards as philosophers and alchemists is indicative of personality traits that our evolution drives us to dislike?
I would seriously doubt that hentai doujins are capable of inspiring the depth of emotion that like, a great work of classic literature is capable of inspiring
and that goes for all humans
"well there ***coooooould*** be someone where it was true"
the point is
the thing itself is consistent
and it is what produces the reaction - at least insofar as human brains are somewhat similar
