objective beauty

There is no objectively more or less beautiful thing. Many may agree that certain things are more or less beautiful but this is only consensus based on subjective factors. So called "objectively beautiful" things are most often chosen by conditioning. If we're told enough times that a certain thing is beautiful our minds will eventually come to associate it with beauty.

Beauty is also experienced when we encounter an external object or setting that reflects our internal experience, so depending on the general inner state of a populous certain things will be agreed upon to be more or less beautiful than others. If the people prize perfection over authenticity, artificial symmetrical constructs will be considered more beautiful than imperfect organic settings. If the prevailing inner landscape is dark and chaotic, things that illustrate these qualities will generally be considered more beautiful than objects and settings reflecting serenity and simplicity.
