[Platt] By George, I think he's got it! Only there's nothing "trans" about it. Beauty like Quality, is Beauty, no matter how or when created. [Krimel] I do not think beauty is a property of works of art or of sunsets any more than green is a property of trees or grass. Beauty resides in the eye of the beholder. Not to break all Micah on you but it does not exist independently of individuals and culture. [Platt] Like I said, nothing transcends the art produced by the cavemen of Lascaux. [Krimel] If those horses and animals were painted on a wall in your home town you would call them graffiti. I think your aesthetic sense of them is as much a product of your knowledge and appreciation of their historical significance as of their purely artistic merit. [Platt] Speaking of infantile, you always manage some way to toss in a personal insult, like the above, "You're stupid. Besides, my appreciation of beauty is better than yours." [Krimel] I am an agnostic wizard. It is my role to be aggressive and nuke things. Sometimes there is collateral damage. [Platt] Oh well, someday the sun will shine.
