- pengaru 4y agoMy question was intended to be rhetorical, but since you've spelled it out - isn't this the same explanation for why flowers are beautiful? Fruits are flowers before they can be eaten as fruit; if sugar is flavor candy, then flowers are the eye candy appetizer.
- taneq 4y agoYep, pretty much. Our sense of aesthetics is a heuristic for things associated with good/useful things, rather than the other way around. :)
