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).

One reason I end up writing things like premium mediocre that more cultivated people miss is that my apathy lets me stay with vibes that would turn off more refined people too quickly for them to grok. My superpower is patience for tastelessness.
