Why Do We Seek Out Beauty? | The Impact Of Art In Our Lives

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

What's the most beautiful thing in existence?

In Episode #379 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: what aesthetics actually means, our encounters with Aziz Shavershian and gym aesthetics, how attractive is complementary to aesthetic, appreciating beauty more when you are older/richer, why I find art to be a confusing minefield of subjectivity and why trying to explain beauty on a conscious level is doomed to fail.

A huge thanks to Dave Jones and Floydian Slips and of course Chris Fisher for the huge baller boost. Massively appreciated!
