>I look at paintings to feel emotions!>I listen to music to feel emotions!>I read books to feel emotions!only brainlets do this
>>539605107The argument is just an unsupported assertion.Premise:People who engage with art to feel emotions are "brainlets."No argument is given for why emotional engagement implies intellectual inferiority.Counterexamples are obvious: many philosophers, composers, writers, psychologists, and art critics explicitly argue that art is valuable because it evokes emotion.The conclusion does not follow from the premise.
>>539605107Jung wrote extensively about art, symbols, and paintings as expressions of the unconscious, and regarded emotional engagement with art as essential to understanding the human psyche. By any reasonable standard, he was not a "brainlet." He was also not an anglo hehe. U lost logic battle again
>>539605579ideas are a higher domain of the mind than emotionshttps://youtu.be/9oqrxe5Bqh0&t=1640
>>539605753An even more obvious example is Vincent van Gogh, who explicitly saw painting as a means of expressing and evoking profound emotion. If appreciating paintings emotionally made someone a "brainlet," then one of history's greatest painters would qualify reductio ad absurdum.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe — believed art should move the emotions as well as the intellect.Arthur Schopenhauer — regarded music as the highest art precisely because of its profound emotional significanceFriedrich Nietzsche — "Without music, life would be a mistake." He saw music as a deep emotional and existential force.Marcel Proust — believed literature exists to reveal and evoke inner emotional life.One counterexample is sufficient to falsify a universal claim. You have at least six.
>>539605936You are confusing "higher" with "exclusive."The fact that reason can analyze beauty does not mean emotion is a lower, worthless response.A person can understand the structure of a symphony and still feel its power. Those are different functions of the mind, not enemies.Reason > Emotiondoes not imply:Reason + Emotion = impossible
>>539605107me reading anne franks diary before i found out they didnt have pens back then
I win again
>>539606092All the diary entries are written in various types of ink and (coloured) pencil, not in ballpoint. The document analysis by the Dutch Forensic Institute showed that the main part of the diary and the loose sheets were written in grey-blue fountain pen ink. In addition, Anne also used thin red ink, green and red coloured pencils and black pencil for her annotations: not ballpoint.The "ballpoint myth" is based on the simple fact that around 1960, two notes with ballpoint writing ended up among the original pages. These notes are from a graphological researcher and are not included in any edition of the diary (except for the Critical Edition, which includes photographs of the annotation sheets).
consuming art for emotion is for plebs, to people with a brain art is a cerebral thing, anyway gotta go, keep your earthy "art"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_industryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JbLPTVvryg
>>539605107>nu-swede nigger cannot understand emotions and the European mind
>>539605107Sorry im not as high brow as you swedes i didnt realise importing syrians to feel emotions was the meta
>>539606235>anyway gotta go"Art is cerebral, not emotional" is ironically an emotional reaction against emotions.

>>539606208around the 1960s you say? interesting as thats when people started hearing about the holocaust myth for the first time
>>539605579>>539606075bodied that freak
>>539605107What the fuck are you even trying to posit as an argument here you illiterate fag?
>>539605579I think they actually mean 'I only look at x to feel emotions'the non-brainlet would say something like 'i look at x to feel emotions and gain insight or intellectual satiation/satisfaction etc.'the person in question is then so lacking in mental faculties that the only way they can engage with media is with primal visceral emotions
>>539605107Emotions connect us. If you can't carry the heart and mind you're doing it wrong.
>>539605107you are brown
>>539605107I read manga to feel emotions.
lolita makes me cry
>>539606852The problem is the word "only.""Art moves me emotionally" is normal human engagement."Art moves me emotionally and gives me insight, ideas, and understanding" is also normal.
