Has there ever been a society that based law on aesthetics rather than economy or politics? Where in court or before the ruler you did not argue that you had the legal authority for your actions, but that what you did was more beautiful than alternatives?

Probably because they're buying the judges off?

So you frequently want to fuck a majestic landscape or a newborn baby? the notions of liberty and wealth or the end of a life well lived just gives you a raging hard on?
Look I'm just saying, if I see a woman with a certain nature and I feel like Kidnapping her and raping her in my dungeon to afterwards use her as a model in a painting that will express emotional nuances with clarity and impact like they have never been shown before and no other options could lead to this inspiration, I think we can all agree that this is the right thing to do.
