RE: https://mastodon.online/@citify/115900961961050202

Aesthetic value has an objective component for the same reason that moral value has an objective component. Minds are physical systems. A consequence of that is that they can, in principle, be computationally modeled. We can talk about an infinite-time Turing machine running all these mind models and have it search for regularities in behavior in the limit (morals) or aesthetic appreciation.

What do you think is #ethics or aesthetics objective?

Can beauty be objective? Kant argued aesthetic judgment is universal yet subjective—what’s your take?
