Okay, here we go into aesthetics. I've never been here before and I don't really know my way around, but I thought we might as well check it out.
*turns light on*
*blows dust off table*
*searches*
Ah, here we go:
I go to the museum one day and see a really beautiful picture. I'm totally awed by it. Next weekend, I'm out with a friend of mine who also loves art. We go to the museum and look at it again. My friend says, "Wow, you're right - this is really great!" I look at the painting and think "Yeah, whatever - it doesn't look as good as I remember it."
Obviously, something has happened. Have I changed? Has the picture changed? Has my interaction with the picture changed? Or what's going on? |

your interaction has changed | by tesla_koil | 2008-08-22 08:05:32 |

But is it possible | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:30:50 |

enviroment has changed | by tesla_koil | 2008-08-22 08:37:00 |

That's a privileged question, though | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:39:05 |
|
if we measured your reaction via | by tesla_koil | 2008-08-22 08:42:25 |
|
Assuming of course | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:51:28 |
|
Yes. | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 08:07:39 |
|
Would you say | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:33:13 |
|
Actually, your interaction with the painting... | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 08:54:55 |
|
Which depends on | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:59:57 |
|
"Equivalent?" Unlikely. But certainly correlative. | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 09:14:52 |
|
Exactly | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 09:20:25 |
|
How certain do I need to be? | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 09:34:25 |
|
I think it is | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 09:39:59 |
|
What do you mean by "really similar"? | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 10:06:51 |
|
I'm asking whether | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 10:17:31 |
|
The idea of taking a few measurements and then | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 10:34:10 |
|
Agreed; I was thinking | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 10:48:50 |
|
Perhaps they are | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 11:11:36 |
|
You could find a change in my body, probably | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 11:45:25 |
|
Of *course* it does | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:21:47 |
|
I don't know where you'd find me | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:27:17 |
|
We begin to touch on theological differences, here | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:39:27 |
|
That's an interesting idea | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:43:43 |
|
I just realized | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 13:03:49 |
|
See? | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 13:18:38 |

woops. s/world or perceptions/world of perceptions (n/t) | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 13:19:27 |
|
Exactly. :grin: | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 13:05:06 |
|
Now that's *really* interesting | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 13:12:50 |
|
Anybody have something resembling empirical | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 13:10:51 |
|
Not definitive, no. | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 13:13:17 |
|
Empirically speaking, I'm not aware of any | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 13:37:13 |
|
:grin: You *know* what correlation means in the... | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 10:56:06 |
|
The problem I have with that is | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 11:00:35 |
|
So, your claim is that I *can't* take measurements | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 11:15:35 |
|
My claim is | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 11:44:07 |
|
Which is different from my claim. | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 11:58:23 |
|
Perhaps that's the next question then | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:05:18 |
|
Taken in order | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:18:14 |
|
I'm not certain why that last supposition | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:19:13 |
|
Setting aside for the moment... | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:04:26 |
|
I am claiming | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:08:11 |
|
It must be measureable, or it is not measureable. | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:29:25 |
|
That's what I initially thought you meant | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 12:36:35 |
|
Every cause is, itself, an effect, with its own | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 12:54:48 |
|
I think where I disagree | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 13:00:10 |
|
Could very well be | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 13:56:52 |
|
I'm not quite sure of that | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 14:08:41 |
|
Which day did you forget to take | by DesertRat66 | 2008-08-22 08:08:07 |
|
I don't take blue pills | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:33:43 |
|
Now, which pill makes you smaller, again? | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 08:37:31 |
|
If you don't become smaller after 4 hours | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 09:05:49 |
|
A statistically negligible number of users | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 09:07:18 |
|
Which unfortunately was a smaller number of users | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 09:24:23 |
|
The light is different now... | by Dire_Lobo | 2008-08-22 08:10:16 |
|
when you are truly awe-struck | by aprylmae | 2008-08-22 08:12:42 |
|
You're saying, then, | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:34:48 |
|
I don't know what caused it the first time | by aprylmae | 2008-08-22 08:40:15 |
|
Agree | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 08:51:38 |
|
It is possible that the picture changed. | by Peace_man | 2008-08-22 08:30:46 |
|
That was actually going to be a follow-up | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 08:37:15 |

You aren't a "virgin" anymore | by voxwoman | 2008-08-22 09:00:19 |

Similar to my answer | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 09:19:26 |

Did *knowing* it was the original heighten | by bitflipper | 2008-08-22 09:21:43 |

Possibly, I don't recall being very | by tallastro | 2008-08-22 09:32:59 |

Not for me. | by voxwoman | 2008-08-22 09:48:44 |

This is psychology, not philosophy. (n/t) | by moddermonster | 2008-08-22 09:07:20 |

No, it's | by MatthewDBA | 2008-08-22 09:09:58 |
