      a experience of beauty is always a flow experience as flow experiences are non-compressible much like a music file 10x larger at max quality that you insist "NO there's a DIFFERENCE and i CAN hear it!! it's WORTH it!!"https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1392343994470846464?s=20 …

      it a self sabotaging effort that happens only with tokenized thought because tokenizing it makes it so repeatable and thus through its compression CANNOT take up the 100% immersion necessary for a flow state

      the desire for beauty thus is a desire for lack of compression. to see reality in maximum fidelity as "God intended" (w/o the information compression trick of abstraction gained through that magic apple)

      any shortcut and it is viscerally FELT. especially in mutual experiences. you can FEEL when someone else is checking out from the actual experience and into a personal fantasy. it feels FAKE.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1392343997578842112?s=20 …

      this is the subconscious aversion to “nerds” their addiction to flow states through compressible mediums like coding means that they are always “pornifying” the feminine. trying to capture it and commoditize it

      the essence of voyeurism is that it strives to achieve oneness by minimizing the unworthy self to a mere observer of the worshipped Beauty yet this very act of "humility" is the very source of wrongness. to feel watched is the opposite of onenesshttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1394538549068787715?s=20 …

      “voyeurism” is perverted because it observes beauty through a slit and thus never self-annihilates. it’s a controlled masturbation to beauty that preserves a precious (cowardly) self

      to watch without interacting also indicates a "gap" between the observed and the self the voyeur always feels lecherous, out of the league of that which is worshipped but still willing to lick at the crumbs it can find

      this "doglike" devotion is devotion to an ideal. a connection is created but it is a one-way connection of worship that makes someone feel trapped permanently in what was supposed to just be a temporary rolehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1304696093515476992?s=20 …

      Imagine someone going up to you: "Chin up a bit, smile, ok stand a little wider, ok good, freeze. Just like that. Now stand there FOREVER!". Even if you objectify someone as the Sacred Goddess of Light it's still objectification which is still a form of dehumanization.

      this is because beauty is only a stepping stone to what is truly desired.... Freedom wealth, high-class, beauty, vacations, fast cars ... they are all desires for FREEDOMhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1349599068033490944 …

      The core signal of being high status is "Having good taste" because that means one is less susceptible to manipulated status and so is more "free" from society. You feel like you can "run away together" with someone who is high class while you feel stuck in the mud w/ low class.

      however beauty will never LEAD you to freedom. in many ways it is the opposite of freedom because beauty tends to be high maintenance HOWEVER. that which is perfectly free will theoretically always choose what is most beautiful regardless of price thus beauty FINDS freedom

      the voyeur cannot step forward because of insufficient freedom because it cannot step into the light it is incapable of self-annihilationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nhtHNqUxqM&t=178s …

      it dooms itself to immortality, constantly repeating the same porn day after day in the hope that THIS time something will happen for real. not realizing that the repetition has so abstracted the scene that behind that door may as well be a plastic dollhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1394526837968052229?s=20 …

      just like in groundhog's day, the only possible exit point becomes something that can "shatter" the existing sense of self through the courage to transcend that identity https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1393929416338640897 …

      what is meant by "freedom" is not the wealth to pay any price and get "whatever i want" it is more like having 1000TB of music space so that downloading the super high quality file is no issue except the storage is MEMORY

          because flow experiences cannot be compressed, someone who has a LOT of flow experiences is naturally FELT to be "fuller" and "larger" than someone who contains information that CAN be easily compressed

          a pianist or a surgeon or soldier for example feels heroic because it indicates an accumulation of experiences where EVERY SMALL DETAIL MATTERS

          an engineer or programmer on the other hand doesn't because it's so easy to "fake" knowledge because in 99% of situations only the final output matters and that can be copy pasted like how used car lots are avoided due to a fear of lemons

          other fields like math or ping pong suffer from the opposite problem. it's too esoteric or fast to be appreciated. everything looks the same to outsiders.

          freedom thus is an unlimited appetite for full fidelity beautiful experiences. a "zest" for life. (note that Greed is a near enemy to this as it too has a large appetite)

          the max limit here is someone who lives a life fully in flow. where only ONE memory is created and is recalled ONCE at the moment of death. it is someone who has died before they died it is someone who lives as if they were watching their life flash before their eyes
