so this is a response to Skyla's question, "If humans did not value aesthetics in their everyday lives, how different would the world look and be? Would life be more chaotic and possibly much more meaningless if no one cared about the visual aspects of life? Explain. :)"
Well i think it is kind of impossible for us as humans to not use aesthetics in our everyday lives becuase it is a part of our natures, and you know all about that. But if it were to happen, i do not think we would have ethics (as circular as that is). Because aesthetics gives us an appreciation for things. And that appreciation and love for things is what makes us develop a sense of what is right and what is wrong. Becuase if we appreciate our mothers, then we do not want to do anything bad to them. If something is dangerous, then we try not to do it becuase we do not want to hurt others or ourselves. I do not think life would be more chaotic, becuase look at how it is now, we have ethics anyway and things are chaotic. If we did not have aesthetics, we may not appreciate anything, going through life as a stale promontory unaware of the potential of things. we could be right where we started.
So my question to this is, do we develop more things out of a violation of these morals than the following of them?
