Beauty = Permanence + Purpose

From Interintellect talk

Familiar trends tend to be beautiful…beautiful things are usually associated with fire and water, which have been around us since the beginning of our species.

Man-made beauty has a greater variance of perception because it is not natural

Post-it Notes on Beauty

There is a type of beauty where the beauty is derived from the action.

People think more creative people are more ethical.

Beauty exists in a spectrum.

Beauty becomes more objective the more primal things are (e.g. fire, water).

When something is so new that our brain doesn’t know how to process it, we develop an aversion to it.

Beauty is both subjective and objective.

Example: Lines of code may be beautiful to a SWE but gibberish to someone else

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for human-made things. But natural things may be objectively more beautiful.

Beauty = Intent + Craft
