Philosophy : The Intimidation of Beauty

The Intimidation of Beauty

So, like, it's becoming somewhat of a theme here lately, you know, beauty, or sexual attraction, like aesthics and the science of attractiveness. I thought I could try and explain why this is so fascinating.

So, yeah, it's complicated, man, but beauty is terrifying. It's like, beauty highlights what's ugly. The ugliness glows, you know, in a bad way. You try to introduce something beautiful into your world and you're opening yourself up to all kinds of problems, for sure. You're gonna have to face the truth about how disorganized your life is. Man, beauty is dangerous.

That's why people are afraid of it. But, it's the greatest thing you can do to your life, you know, it's, like, just to let the beauty in. It puts you in alignment with… beauty is beautiful for a reason. Beauty has real depth, man. It puts you in touch with the transcendent and the divine.

Look, think of a museum, or an art gallery. Like, there's all these paintings on the wall. Priceless paintings. And so like people all over the world… there are people from all over the world coming just to look at this art. They're making pilgrimages from across the globe. I mean, what the hell is going on? Well, yeah, right. There's beauty in those paintings, man. There's beauty and it's magnificent. And it's like, the contrast. You're realizing you're not who you should be.

That's the power of beauty. Like… that's why beautiful women are intimidating. I mean, this women, so, she's astonishingly beautiful, but intimidating. Intimidating because she reminds you that you're not all you could be.

Like, the women here. You know, there are women here like that, right? It seemed Horatio was able to deflect Bee's advances effortlessly, but it's just survival. I mean, to him, she's dangerous. A woman with half a beautiful face is intimidating. It's powerful. It's transcendent, like fine art. It's like, it's like Munch's Scream or Woman III by Kooning.

Orson, tsp

Cheerio.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

I'm keeping well, so there's that. Thanks for asking. My daughter helped me, you know, I needed help for severely impaired health, which I got. Thank God.

I mean, I'm well, but I won't be here as much as I'd like. You know, I need to reduce my workload. There's just so much to do but you have to look after your health, right?

Dr. Peterson has asked us to get in touch. He's always pleased when people receive his work so enthusiastically and so he'd like to offer you a signed copy of his latest book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, to express his gratitude.

Please drop us a line privately and we'd be delighted to arrange this for you.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Men's financial prowess is their power while a woman's is her beauty. Not sure what I will do when it's my time to age but time solves all. Or it ruins it, I'm not sure yet.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Like, welcome back, man!

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Thank you. I ended up getting treatment in Russia. So, it turns out they at least can help with drug dependency. I'm just so grateful my daughter wouldn't take no for an answer.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Ha! No, I mean, no was the answer the damn doctors were giving her, man. It's like really? So how is it you're telling us no but, like, you know, when the clinic in Russia turns out to have the answers?

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Sorry, I don't speak Valley Girl.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Sure.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

OMG, you are like, totally what-ever!

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

I've never been intimidated by beautiful women. I am intimidated by very popular women or men that have power and influence. But that's natural to feel that way so I don't feel insecure about those feelings at all.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

this is the best thing I've read. Whoever wrote this is brilliant and sexy. I'm almost too intimidated to respond!

I'm going to tell this to everyone that asked why horatio left. My beauty bullied him off the board!!

i highly doubt that's the reason he left but I'm hoping he'll come back just to tell us all how untrue it is lol

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

No ,but your beauty is …. beautiful.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

I mean, Horatio is asexual, so there's that. It's easy not to be seduced by beauty when you don't, you know, when you're not able to feel arousal.

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

Re: The Intimidation of Beauty

But it's really not funny. It's not good at all. Like, you've got to do something because you, I mean, that's no life, man. It's not healthy to live without sexual release. And so I told him this, you know, and the surgery where I practice - I'm a clinical psychologist - we've taken him in. He's doing well. It's a long process but, well, like he seems happy enough. We've got some testing lined up next week, so it's like, we start small. You know? Pictures of ankles, that kind of thing. With a little luck, we'll get there. He can then be reunited with Bee once he's completed rehabilitation.
