One day we’re going to have to unpack “aesthetic” a bit. I think it’s more than just ‘oh it feels really nice and fun’, but after we used it as applied to HPMOR and Atlas Shrugged—or parable fiction in general—I’ve been giving it a similar meaning as ‘mindset’ or ‘way of viewing’. It’s becoming less clear to me as to how to use the term.
I’ve been using it in justifications of reading (certain) fiction now, but I want to be careful that I’m not talking about something else, or something that doesn’t exist, so my rationality can aim true.
