I’ve been thinking a lot about aesthetics lately. It’s something I often write off as shallow and unimportant, in part because the principles don’t come naturally to me and that makes me feel incompetent. I find it unintuitive. I wonder how much growth that approach costs me.

Is aesthetics mostly cult of personality? Like it does seem like there are some near-universal, pretty timeless principles but also trends and fads I can’t possibly understand and I honestly doubt anyone does because no one explains it the same way or legibly.

The relationship to cults of personality is partially overlapping sets. Not all CoPs are aesthetic schemes and not all CoPs are CoPs. Nobody explains it legibly because each one is basically it’s own language that you have to learn, and paying cost of learning is how you buy in.
