Re: Beauty and Perfection have the same definition.
Well, if one were to use perfect technique to produce a bust of Nigel Farage, for example. But, then again, I suppose some would see beauty in the skill involved, in which case, you are right, it wouldn't be true.accelafine wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 7:41 pmI'm not sure that's true.

They used it for an ugly purpose. You could also bash someone over the head with that beautiful bust.Impenitent wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 7:51 pm

The uranium in the Hiroshima bomb was about 80 percent uranium 235. One metric ton of natural uranium typically contains only 7 kilograms of uranium 235. Of the 64 kilograms of uranium in the bomb, less than one kilogram underwent fission, and the entire energy of the explosion came from just over half a gram of matter that was converted to energy. That is about the weight of a butterfly.

Colonel Deming is a national hero in Japan.
He showed them their future, after the bombs.
Kinda pretty, especially in contrast.

Imperfection often adds to beauty. The little gap in the teeth of a woman; the slight variance in the black of an Ad Reinhardt painting; the slant rhyme in an Emily Dickinson poem; the off rhythm cadence of Ogden Nash.
Truth may be beauty, as Keats discovered looking at a Grecian urn, but the perfect straight line sometimes needs a little twist to express itself.

Japan rose from the ashes because of Deming, and because of their cultural proclivity towards perfectionism ... applies to industry.
Perfectionism, the striving for perfection that is eventually effortless, is evident in the martial arts and in ceremonies of perfection, such as Tea. The pleasure is in the perfection, because the perfection is beautiful.

Re: Beauty and Perfection have the same definition.
Without a doubt. From this, it's obvious that the twist is required to make perfection. (Lucky for most of us.) Someone should tell AI to stop with the airbrushing.Alexiev wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2024 5:11 am Imperfection often adds to beauty.

Re: Beauty and Perfection have the same definition.
One of the elements in the compounded condition of beauty, caused by perfection, is the presence of an instrument to re-cognize the beauty. The instrument may be sensitive enough to generate tears of emotion in the vessel of consciousness, or the instrument may have been dulled to the point of registering only pleasure and discomfort.
Therefore, when perfection is offered, beauty can be attracted, or invited, as a result if the conditions are ripe, and the elements that comprise a condition of beauty are present, a crucial element of the condition being the instrument that perceives beauty. Perfection may be an offering to someone snoring, or to a dog with no capacity for re-cognizing perfection.
It’s like the falling down tree in the forest. One of the elements required for sound to exist, as humans define sound, is an ear. Otherwise, only dissipating shock waves are generated by the displacements.
