How Did The Modern World Get So Ugly? - Sheehan Quirke - #1022

What is beauty? It's one hell of a question. Um I think the word is overused and misunderstood. The best way to think about beauty, the most helpful way, is to think of it as synonymous with the word love. Once you do that, all the complications kind of fade away.

I think beauty is basically love manifest in the physical world. But anyway, so so that that's how I think of beauty because I think Because you're a hopeless romantic. Oh, I'm a hopeless romantic. Well, I'm a hopeful romantic, let's say. Yeah, yeah.

But no, I I think the problem is once you start talking about beauty, what is beauty, it's kind of like asking what is art? Right? It's a very, very interesting question, but you can end up talking we we could spend the whole you know, two hours or how long we're going to be here, just talking about, well, maybe beauty is this, maybe beauty is that, but what are this? Same with art.
