There are elements of hippie aesthetics that get close but w/o the high energy; there are transhumanist/sci-fi aesthetics that hit “high-energy omniwin” but usually lack the discipline & attention to history to be beautiful & do their biophilia clumsily

Hmm. There’s something there. I have a few vibe preferences at various scales (peace over conflict in the world, nice weather where I live, good coffee, laid back personal life energy) but feeling the vibe being off is an input that then turns into a thinking task.

I think going from vibe preference to problem-solving is the normal/healthy thing for everyone, the variance here is how much time they spend going “what’s this vibe?” (perception task) vs “how do I engineer my life to achieve this vibe?” (planning task).

I spend a lot of my time in perception mode but I wouldn’t say I have strong aesthetic preferences. The opposite in fact. Though I exaggerate a bit to troll you aesthetes, I do deliberately and consciously work on discarding aesthetic filters as I become aware of them.
