um, beauty... post scriptum preamble

so all that shit in the previous post may mispresent the whole of my views on "beauty" because the argument addresses mainly one position. i often take turns arguing opposite sides with myself but anything i write tends to focus on the "intellectual" side because i'm a little obsessive compulsive about conquering the animal nature of the human psyche and because i like being the one person to disagree with the masses. makes marc feel special doesn't it.

of course there are beautiful things that should be "appreciated". i love blue skies or tobago sunsets or beams of light through sensi smoke as much as the next person. when i question "beauty" out loud it is with the long run intention of enhancing the concept not revoking it. so for example if ones observes symmetry or asymmetry in some geometry or masterly applied hues and shades in a painting and this is perceived as beautiful that is great! but it gets questionable when beauty becomes entangled with biological indicators as happens when one sees, say, flowers (forager knows that plant food is nearby) or female breast size and body curvature (male sees food/fertility potential).
