Seratris: I'd never read this paper, and i loved it. Maybe was in a crabby mood the first time i looked at itbut not in the proper frame of mind to appreciate it. This hits on so many, i don't know, just in the psychology of evaluating works of art. It almost makes me mad that somebody could be this ansigtfuly adnn,. His essays are likethes. And i'm not sure that he gets there.
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?
