20 June, Margit Sziget Meetup: Are Aesthetic judgements about real things

[Timothy Underwood]

In view of the good weather we are doing this meetup on Margaret Island. We are going to gather and start the discussion at Champs Sziget bar (location: https://plus.codes/8FVXG29W+XM ). We have a tendency to start strolling around the Island during the last third of the Island meetups, so if you arrive later than 3:30 we might be already somewhere else.

I'd like for us to argue about is aesthetic taste a real thing. Basically are you a snob if you think that Shakespeare is in 'better' than Fifty Shades of Grey? Are you an idiot if you don't think it is? Why do we keep arguing about this. 

Scott had some relevant posts about this earlier, they are the reading for this event:
