Like there's not a universal definition of what's beautiful. It is something that is dependent on your history and how you interact with the world. And I guess what I like about beauty, like any other concept, is when you turn it on its head. So maybe the traditional conception of why women wear makeup and they dress certain ways is because they want to look beautiful and pleasing to people.

And I just like to do it because It's a confidence thing. It's about embodying the person that I want to be and about owning that person. And then the way that people interact with that person is very different than if I didn't have that, like if I wasn't using that attribute as part of, and obviously that's influenced by the society I live and like what's aesthetically pleasing things.

But it's interesting to be able to turn that around and not have it necessarily be about the aesthetics, but about the power dynamics that the aesthetics create.

Well, the point is you're saying it's an adaptive trait for like sexual selection or something. And I'm saying that the adaptation that beauty confers is far richer than that. And some of the adaptation... is about social hierarchy and social mobility and just plain social dynamics. Like, why do some people dress goth? It's because they identify with a community and a culture associated with that.

And they get, you know, and that's a beautiful aesthetic. It's a different aesthetic. Some people don't like it.

Yes, exactly. It's the same kind of- Yes, and I think too few people think about the way that they, the aesthetics they build for themselves in the morning and how they carry it in the world and the way that other people interact with that because they put clothes on and they don't think about clothes as carrying function.

I think one thing that I feel like I notice much more viscerally than I feel like I hear other people describe is that the representations in our mind and the way that we use language are not the things like... Actually, I mean, this is an important point going back to what Gertl did, but also this idea of signs and symbols and all kinds of ways of separating them. There's like the word, right?
