I will add though, strickly speaking, while I think the principals of easthetics are consistent, they aren't inherent to reality ie direct experience. Just in my view.

No way! This applies to everything ! Rule of thirds balance (just one example here) is not nearly always constrained to a rectangular 'canvas'. It is a balance of proportion. I see everything in this way. It is simply a matter of being able to make the distinction. And I suppose as the topic is 'Aesthetic intelligence' my argument would turn to me to state, I have it. To be able to see in an artistic way. I was born being able to see things in a way that meant I could tweak a small element to enhance the pleasing nature of the visual experience. The fine motor skills were also there, and were enhanced with training. I believe there is a genetic component to having this vision innately - but it can also be learned. Anyway not sure what my point is, other than I think some of these rules are consistent.

How would you seperate style vs trend? I would argue aesthetics have a style. Trends are something totally seperate and have no requirement to be aesthetic. I am an artist. Oil painter and trained in fine arts from scratch, from an old-school art master painter. Studied first principles. Pencil only for 10 years, then pen, then colours, then watercolour > acrylic > oil etc I haven't noticed rules for good, balanced composition change. Usually principles such us; rule of thirds, vanishing points, light/dark grade, focal point etc all follow a similar theme that contributes to 'aesthetic' appearance. Across any medium there is usually a consistent pattern of interplay of these compositional elements, or some unusual variation of. But they don't really change. The principal is there in a new configuration.

Is there something you need help with, personal development wise?

Oh! I apply it in a more widespread way... Swing axe, cut tree, axe breaks!!! Go gym, pickup weights, discover bad genetics can't get as big as some dudes. There is totally a formula to master, and apply. And it is definitely a great thing to focus on. But sometimes random shit just....happens 💔 I just never let anything stop me. Water on Teflon 👊

It sounds like Leo was pulled into another dimension of demon / angel thought-forms needing vanquishing 💀 Funny how it's always demons being fixated on, and not so much angels Dude did you see Bryan's tweets about seducing Kate, touching her. Talking about her nipples n shit. 'Tesseract of love' 'opening her up' I think it was deleted before it could become widespread. I got some sneaky screen shots. You know I love the gossip and troll mode (I am good girl on the forums though!). My giga-troll nature is undeniable. Terrible. 😈

This sounds like a juicy conversation 😃

This is going on the opposite direction of personal development.

Is there something we can do for you?

That sounds an interesting avenue to move into.... But good! Assessing existential morals and ethics as they apply to reality. But is that possibly seeking meaning, or how we ought to act? Looking for greater meaning can sometimes be missing the point... Time will reveal all when it is released 😁 Some of the answers would probably lead to Chernobyl levels of brain meltdown

ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ Was it a ton of questions, or flow-like stream of consciousness dialogue that went spanned the topics naturally? I love it when spirituality dovetails and flows with some of the higher aspects of theoretical science. I am looking forward to this. Blog posts and videos are great, but it is always nice to see how you respond to prompts and dialogue. It reveals things from a different perspective. Thank you 😊

Unfortunately, life isn't as simple as a vending machine where you put coins in and the goods come out. That doesn't mean hard & good work doesn't pay; more that fairness isn't built in. Sometimes you do everything right, and nothing good happens. And sometimes, good does happen! Sometimes you do everything wrong and good happens. And sometimes, bad happens. This can be a hard lesson to learn if we are immersed in idealogy, or if we are attached to outcome. A lesson we all learn, with time. They key is to not fall into our own tale-of-woe and wallow in self pity.

I hated having to do it 💔 Welcome back, have all forgiveness and love 🙏 I had to quit alcohol. I am a deranged monkey on it

Title of the thread should be changed to 'irrational, misunderstood hatred. Help me out of this mindset' You clearly, desperately want help.

It is because of online dating, apps and much less facilitated contact with each other. An image online or video is the only way to initially assess someone. And attention spans are very short. I think part of the whole metrosexual renaissance (looksmaxxing) is almost like taking a clickbait thumbnail and applying that to a dating profile. Grab attention as fast as possible. Easiest metric for that is glamour. It's the foot in the door these days, especially for men who use dating apps where they outnumber women. It's the extreme ends of the looksmaxxing scale 'hardmaxxing' IE height surgery, jaw surgery, test etc that are the problematic manifestations of it. Many of us grew up without these apps, so it is easy to see that looks are just one part as we have evidence for that in our social lives. Younger generations only have the apps and live in an online world of millisecond attention spans. To them, looks trump almost all. They simply do not have experience to show them how it all really works (social skills etc and all the rest). Explains the rise and momentum behind those such as Clavicular (Breden Peters).

Because the answer got no closer to finding out what is behind an atom. The answers are born of simplicy. Not more concepts and large paragraphs.

@Ramasta9 no sweat, just natural frustration. You talking to a a bunch of addicts 🤣🤣🤣

@theleelajoker lol. Positively laced and dripping with sarcasm 😂 The funny thing is, looksmaxxing isn't new or innovative. It's 'metrosexual' rebranded.

Beg for the gruel

HA HA HA. No but I was serious >.< Also, I have slipped into meditative states on numerous occasions, that reflect this single pointed focus. In normal states my conceptual mind is so embedded up my arse you would need a full excavator/demolition crew to even touch the shit

Liquid courage is the old adage

Maybe it is to see through it, rather than see it

Really? His off-the-cuff speaking voice is whack as shit in terms of modulation. Sometimes he has a bit of word salad and lots of odd repeated phrasing. In addition, his general speaking tone can be VERY emotive. Aggressive, assertive, incredulous. I am all good with that tbh, doesn't stop me, as it reads like passion and conviction. In contrast, his audiobooks (I have listened to them many times) are a lot calmer. Thoughts, word pacing and phrasing is a lot more coherent. I am able to focus on the book in a leaner way that enhances digestion. Often I will return and relisten many times. I really enjoy that the audiobook is narrated by Ralston himself. I do not mind the tonal/pace change at all. If it were narrated by anyone else I would not be so captured. Different strokes ay?

Kinda hard to really engage or take any back-and-forth seriously when it is pure anecdotes, n = 1 experiments, and disregards unique genetics and physiology

Can you see how your answers are somewhat circular? The way you have answered here, prompts me to ask the questions again. As they were not addressed. None of this tells us what an atom is. Or what an atom is made of, and what it is further made of. What is at the 'bottom' so to speak.
