Good and evil are nothing more than two opposing viewpoints at

clearly you need to smoke more DMT

good and evil aren't what determine the quality of art. You are clearly a retard.

Did you just figure out almost everything is subjective?

>>36307827
It's been weighing on my mind for some time now.

How do you share the feeling you felt at the end of your favourite movie or at the climax of your favourite song with someone that hates your favourite filmaker or hates your favourite musician? How do you translate feelings into words they can translate back into the same feeling?

It doesn't have to be media specifically either. It could be any physical activity or pastime or hobby or whatever. Say you enjoy golf, how do you explain the joy of hitting a hole in one to someone that thinks golf is stupid?

ugh but it isn't! everyone views the same thing through a unique filter. So their perceptions are different. But that doesn't mean there isnt an objective truth to the object they all percieve.

Art is different than truth. Art is pretty subjective. Like this make me feel, and I don't really care if anyone else does. All it means to me is that if someone likes it and feels it in the same way I do, we are vibrating on a similar level.

the only way to achieve objectivity is to kill everyone in the word so that your perspective is the only one

what the fuck do you mean "achieve objectivity"
consensus is not even necessarily objective.
God your'e all retarded!

>this make me feel, and I don't really care if anyone else does
I think this is the issue I'm having. I do care what other people are thinking or feeling. I want them to feel like I do, particularly when it's a positive feeling.

I don't have a problem with other people liking things I don't like, but I hate it when people don't like things I like. It hurts. It feels like they don't like me because they don't understand why I like that particular thing. When I try not caring about what other people think, I feel disconnected and lonely. I don't want to be alone, I want to connect with other people.

I really like the music you posted by the way, it was soothing and helped calm me down a bit.

Good post; I enjoyed reading it. A lot of what you said resonates with my own experiences.

>>36309441
Seconded. Thanks OP.

I believe you are already fortunate enough in having found friends who share similar emotional response to input. I have friends, but even the ones who enjoy the art I do enjoy it for different reasons, their responses being sometimes so different that I do not even have interest in sharing some things anymore, as I feel the false sense of joint experience is worse than not having shared anything at all.

Nevertheless, the idea that the quality of art is impossible to determine objectively I find rather appalling. While yes, all experiences are subjective, there are metrics one can (subjectively) impose by which one can make objective statements. Taylor Swift makes more simplistic music than Musorgski. Modern day sculptors make less realistic works than Strazza's Veiled Virgin. Cezanne's work required less originality than Monet. Dostoevsky requires a greater understanding of the human condition than Tom Clancy. Whether or not you find such conditions to be of importance for quality may be up to you, but there is a reason that 100 years from now there will still be people reading the Odyssey while the last copy of the Da Vinci will be rotting in a buried attic somewhere.
