I was actually somewhat interested in dath ilan as a sort of vague social model before reading these comments, but afterward, I think I’m perfectly fine with Earth. I suspect I’d be absolutely miserable there; the fact I’m a huge fan of hyperidealized art is the primary reason.
Hyperidealized art wouldn’t be banned. There’d be much less of it, but not none. It’d also be produced by much better artists.
I think you’d probably end up consuming hyperidealized art, too. You’d notice that you preferred the more idealized art, among what you consumed, then you’d talk to a psychologist or something and they’d tell you that you’d probably be fine with the cognitohazardous stuff.
