Aesthetics is one of those Good-Servant-Bad-Master (GSBM) things
So many things are GSBM... optimization, rationality, ritual, humor, nerdery, community, prowess, money, power.
it only takes falling for 1 GSBM to go from live player to dead player... bam, you're a shell script

A clear "tell" is when you are able to romanticize and idolize someone as a model of X, and do it. To be a servant to a bad master, you must first personify it as a false god.

Given that too much of a good thing seems to always be bad, what *isn't* GSBM?
The only thing I can come up with is rationality, as long as you do it properly and not as a straw vulcan

So aesthetics, like others, is BOTH a good servant and a bad master? I'm wondering how Aesthetics and Humour are either of these.
