I did.
--It may be seen that I posted a definition of beautiful sometime before this post. A definition of Beautiful - pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically. Do you agree with that definition ?
--Sure. Except then beauty isn't a property of things, but rather a person's emotional response to things which are themselves not intrinsically beautiful.--
Do you think a beautiful mind uses wisdom ?
Quote:--How can you be biased about a subjective position? If you want to say I'm biased in favor of chocolate ice cream over strawberry, that's a pretty strange way to look at things. I likes what I likes-- that's not bias, it's a definition of what "like" means. And beauty, by your definition, is no different.--
Do you think a person may be unbiased ?
If I said to you that strawberry and chocolate have different tastes but taste equally beautiful, do you think you would tell me they don't and that I'm wrong and that I'm biased ?
Quote:You might have agreed with the definition of beautiful.--Your definition is subjective, and is not a property of any thing which may be called "beautiful." At best, you could define beauty in terms of neuronal activity, and say, "This sunset triggers 15% of neurons in X portion of the brain." How else would you attach a number to beauty?--
Do you think that every person who experiences what is beautiful experiences pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically or do you think that there are people who experience what is beautiful but don't experience pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically ?
Quote:You may have looked at my question about being unbiased.My experience with Christians is that "unbiased" means "open to unsubstantiated fairy tales despite a lack of evidence or reason." How am I doing?
Do you consider yourself a mature person ? What do you think the truth is about absolute truth ?
