Objective beauty.

Objective beauty requires a source, just like objective morality
The existence of objective beauty is supporting evidence of intelligent design

Theologically, we know at least human beauty is objective because God specifically says Joseph and David were handsome, meaning there are people who are not handsome according to God

Yes! The destruction of beauty is all part of our degenerate culture that seeks to distance man from his creator.

Very well put. What church do you go to?

fpbp. But I would argue that the source does no have to be something divine as God, although not a bad one. Peterson argues that morals are inherent in our nature because it was pragmatic, so our sense in beauty would have to be pragmatic.

Going along with his thought, maybe beauty is something that can bring out the existential contentment that can be found in depictions in modern day moments. Maybe the hierachy of objective art is one that brings out the most out of us emotionally through relatable experiences and archetypes.

I think aesthicists are wrong. Art is not good because it looks pretty, it is good because the artist put himself into it. Commissioned art(most of the stuff aesthicists drool over) is just commercial art, its soulless crap.
