if I go somewhere (train station, highway, supermarket) and there are massive screens which play ads on a loop, purposefully bright and loud and situated in a public space I experience this as an evil. It actively harms me. i don’t think we need to go any further than Times Square to find proof that aesthetic value is at least partially grounded in moral value.

And who are we to so confidently assume that our 21st century morality is the greatest yardstick to measure all other moralities against? Classics are to be read precisely because they’re the echoes of peoples that are now completely alien to us. And in my view, the mark of something truly beautiful is not how diligently it intends to school me on morality— it’s the revalation of a TRUTH. If its brilliance blinds me, so be it. It can be a hateful sermon of filth & violence— so long as it’s beautiful & pure & conveys something that connects me to that which I find myself disconnected from in my mundane, day-to-day life, I’ll be satisfied with it. This isn’t to say that great art can’t contain a decent, instructive morality. But is it necessary? In my view, not at all.

sometimes we need to watch something that makes us feel ugly and accept that some art is morally corrupt.

You are obligated to make a good faith attempt to like your friends boyfriend five separate times. However five times is quite generous of you and if your don’t like them on the sixth occassion it is out of your hands.

Pilates + not eating processed foods + minimum 8 hours sleep + no coffee past 12pm… who knew feeling like an anxious, sleepless, over caffeinated mess all the time didn’t have to be the case!
