"Why is everyone's opinion equal? When building a bridge, is the opinion of a civil engineer equal to that of a cook?" Engineering is objective. It is provable

"Why is everyone's opinion equal? When building a bridge, is the opinion of a civil engineer equal to that of a cook?"
Engineering is objective. It is provable. It yields foundational precepts that, if you annihilated society and it grew again, would recur in the same form. Aesthetics/art has gone through countless cycles -- often completely contradictory states -- and at any one time you can find any number of adherents of virtually any belief.
Looking at the disastrous CyberTruck, though, which subjectively almost everyone hates, and saying "I'm kind of into this stuff, so my opinion means more" is absurd. It is 100% subjective, and it is something that everyone has an equal opinion on.
A design that was the result of the limitations of forming stainless steel and pretending like it is some heightened presentation is farce.

- mcguire 7y agoThe question here, though, is whether the hideous abomination is Brutalist or not. I'll buy the argument that it doesn't satisfy the definition.
