no i'm not dragging you into that debate, just saying a stimulus response is technically speaking an action and beauty surely isn't something you do, rather than something you feel (regardless of whether or not that feeling resides in you or in the physical realm.)

>>6449857
beauty is that which is both too real, too convincing to be a fiction: and yet, paradoxically, it is also that which is too perfectly organised, too artistically arranged to have not been implemented by a god-author-artist. It is the experience of both The Real and The Symbolic at their point of intersection, and it is the most wonderful, terrifying, transcendent experience in the universe.

>>6452188
So, like literally anything else observable to the senses?

Ugly is a vague, abstract concept that references a vague, emotional response we have to some kind of stimulus.

Stupid is a vague, abstract concept that references a vague, emotional response we have to some kind of stimulus.

Or, more likely, stupid is you.

Anonymous Sat Apr 25 08:53:52 2015 No.6452279

>>6452232
Any kind of reaction to an external stimulus is an 'emotional' response of sorts. For the idea of stupid to exist it would necessitate two self-conscious beings, one ignorant, the other emotionally responding to that ignorance in linguistically assigning the other the title of 'stupid'. To call someone stupid is to not only disagree with their reality, but is also a subjugating act, a narcissistic claim of 'I'm superior to you' which one would only be capable of through emotion.
