@GabrielDuquette Perhaps an individual human has a hidden aesthetic they don't know about yet, thats probably true. But all I mean is that -
@GabrielDuquette the hidden aesthetic itself is arbitrary in the space of all possibilities.

@GabrielDuquette But why assume they have the same goals? If I like rock and someone else likes metal, how could they convince me I'm wrong?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@GabrielDuquette I disagree; taste is an arbitrary function which we attempt to satisfy. There's no reason to assume aliens like metal too.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
