Ther noin is trying, till i figure out why we have the sense that some works of art are better than other works of art. But at the same time thinking that it's ultimately subjective, like it's inherent in us rather than the object. And teaching is the best example of this rite. Like, yo, teach thing over and over again, you're just going to just going to learn so much more to appreciate about it. Just talking about am on the podcast just makes us watch it in a different way, appreciate it in a new way, like it more than we liked it before. Yes, definitely.
Many of us think that art is subjective, but at the same time it seems like some artistic judgments are better than others. Do you think Crash deserved to receive an award for Best Picture? Did you like Season 2 of Ted Lasso? Well you’re wrong. So how do we reconcile these two conflicting attitudes about art? David and Tamler turn to David Hume’s classic essay Of the Standard of Taste (link in notes) for help. Will Pizarro finally see the error of his ways on Straw Dogs?
Plus a doozy of a medical ethics paper – should we allow people to change their legal age if it doesn’t match their "biological" and "emotional" age?
