The Objective Definition of Beauty
Re: The Objective Definition of Beauty
Didn't do much for me. Sounds like Morrissey (who I love) on an absolute downer. Btw, what's the first best music package... iyo?

That'll be Black Lace's seminal performance of Agadoo on TOTPs in 1989 - betcha $50.

Totality, in my humble.
Great song, great video, complete symmetry.

That's better, though I suspect your choices are a consequence of your music education. So, arguably, influenced by reason?
I'm not sure that reason necessarily leads to beauty.

That was goosebumpy stuff. Love that CD. Muse peaked early and hard didn't they? Their first three album releases were their best work in my humble etc.

Re: The Objective Definition of Beauty
With me, everything is influenced by reason. And of course my choices are a consequence of my music education, because they're musical judgements. I did have a very different music education for someone in my profession, though.jamest wrote:That's better, though I suspect your choices are a consequence of your music education.

Not sure that 'influenced by reason' and 'leading from reason' are necessarily equivalent statements, which you would have realised if you'd given it a moment's thought for a change.I'm not sure that reason necessarily leads to beauty.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Re: The Objective Definition of Beauty
My point - as should have been obvious - was whether reason/knowledge should have any say in what constitutes beauty. As such, your contribution failed dismally to address this point.hackenslash wrote:I did answer the question. Look again.

I think ass is more important than tits. But that's just my opinion.
