[@micahlanboney7830]

This is just delightful

[@scythermantis]

Wow I appreciate this because it is like the perfect artistic expression through humour to be a cherry on top of what I thought was an extremely rare flavour of ice cream only to realise someone else had already thought of that exact same analogy. The hilariously ironic thing is I only noticed this from following the comment chain on a cer spence video but I suppose that is par for the course.

[@phlovejoy]

I adore this comment, especially since playing cards while eating cherry ice cream is my preferred Sugrue viewing experience. And this video's little invasion of a cer spence comment section? That's my cherry on top. Bless bless, my friend of excellent taste.

[@raymondgonzales6439]

Are we all aesthetic people for watching this on KZbin? Have we failed the ethical life?

[@thucydides7849]

Yes. I’m not sure anyone anyone is truly living an ethical life. Anyone who thinks he is just has more entangled layers of subjective aesthetics. I can’t help but think their is a ever so slight egoism in all altruistic actions, even if subconscious.

[@BboyKeny]

@@thucydides7849 I think it's about practically change your habits be it of actions or of thought and have them all pointed towards the ethical. Maybe it's not possible to attain perfection but imagine analysing yourself so rigourously and adjusting yourself for years. How would your life and those around you have changed? I think it's can be less of egoism and more of finding joy and meaning in being of service to others. Life is and will be shitty at points in everyone's life, often caused by other people. Be a bright point in peoples life and share that light.

[@robert0price]

@@cheesycheese7100 yeah my aesthetics are pretty non-binary as a rule, i think that's just reading Beckett

[@crumbcake1389]

@@thucydides7849 Wasn't it the point of Either/Or, that either road you take - ethical or aesthetical - will lead you nowhere without faith. Both of these routes are just means to pander to other people and to your own ego, both lead to a dead end, and the only hope we can have lies in our faith and the trust we put in God.
