I'd much rather fuck hot chicks all day than advance humanity. Humanity is doomed anyway, well be lucky if were here in another 200 years.

exactly.

beauty is there to differentiate forever alones from people-who-have-sex-with-hot-girls.

both are necessary for survival of species

>> No.2764217

>>2764166
The geeks contribute to human advancement, making sure the normal folks have all they need to have fun. Makes sense.

I see this attitude a lot on /sci/.

>> No.2764226

Something that produces aesthetic pleasure upon sensing.

>>2764133
having a hierarchy of attractiveness, rather than everyone beign equally beautiful, means there is competition for mates. this will result in fitter people breeding more. thus fitter offspring.

>> No.2764237

We evolved a set of traits to help us identify potential mates and spread our seed.

Yeah, but we are having fun and don't give a fuck about the species while the geeks think they must do that for 'the species'.

Stupid geeks. I hope you do realise we normalfags are using you for our own benefit. We don't need to contribute, becuase you're stupid enough to do it. Bwahahahahahhha

ITT people confusing sexual attraction with beauty in the aesthetic sense. Science only goes so far, and explains the mechanisms behind the feelings of beauty. There is no scientific explanation for why something is to be judged to be beautiful, because the standards are arbitrary as shit and not even serious philosophers take aesthetics seriously as a field of study.

>> No.2764384

Statistically those who are interested in and talk about 'beauty' are most likely to be faggots.
