That doesn't make any sense though. Because if you take us out of the picture then there's neither horror or beauty.
Seeing the whole thing as beauty without you being in the picture, doesn't make sense because that is precisely you judging it as all beautiful! You can't take yourself our the picture and judge it as beautiful, because if you're not in the picture, how is it any more beautiful than horrible or anything else? We give the descriptions. The concept of horror doesn't exist without us, but neither does beauty.
Quote:Beauty is astrangeway to describe it, because it's human language which we usually associate with things that give US pleasure. Horrible the same spectrum.Yes, that's why the whole thing can't be beautiful without us in the picture. Because both horror and beauty are concepts that require us. Or if you argue they exist objectively, then how does beauty exist any more than horror? So how in any sense is it "all beautiful"? It's wishful thinking in my mind.

No I am not anti-life on earth. And when you say that it's how life works and it's therefore "good" you are comitting the Naturalistic Fallacy.
