Nope, beauty is a subjective interpretation of the mind and is only true insofar as the experience of the mind is a reality. Beauty is not absolute or constant.

He is correct but in a based Nietzschean way rather than a retarded Platonist way

Ok geniuses, if beauty is truth, why can you find something beautiful one day and not beautiful the next? Please redefine truth for me so it means beauty

Something can be true one day and false the next. For instance, it is true today that it is May 29th but it is not true tomorrow that it is May 29th, as it no longer May 29th.

Then all you can say is that “this is beautiful right now” is a true statement, you still can’t say that Beauty is the Truth. Beauty is an abstract concept, not a statement about the current state of the world like a date, and if it changes it contradicts itself. And you can’t say that beauty itself doesn’t change but only the things it is applied to change, because beauty is still a concept which makes it dependent on the mind for its existence. When the mind isn’t finding anything beautiful, beauty doesn’t exist, and going from existence to non existence is a change.
