I value his work because he retains a fantastic ability to argue sensitively and intelligently, often drawing people out because he treads a fine line between challenge and reflection. Grumbling about what other people enjoy is what plebs like us do. Alex is usually much better than that.

I value those same qualities in his work, but I guess I would say that I don’t find his aesthetic meditations lacking in that regard. In fact, that’s precisely what I appreciate about them.

Would you be more receptive to this kind of thing if he explicitly discussed beauty in a philosophical context first? It’s a very rich field of study. Or do you object to the topic of beauty itself on the whole?

I replied but It came out on the general thread instead of here.
