  • What you are all engaged in is philosophy, philosophy done naively and clearly without being informed by what professional philosophers actually do. Yet if you were aware of what they do you might be less optimistic because philosophy died about a century ago. Beauty insights us to make connections? That's fine, but why study the humanities to confront beauty? Indeed what is beauty? What are you even talking about? This is just professional opining and it's just not defensible. Let it die.
