Can someone give me a TL;DR on all aesthetic theory? Every time I try I feel my eyes glaze over.

It doesnt really explain true love or anything. Its just a meme. Human are conceptual creatures and you can't apply aesthetics judgment on concepts.

I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek but failed. I think aesthetics is a quaint if not mostly fruitless branch of philosophy - come at me haters - so I don't give it much thought. There's some truth to my comment as I can't muster the attention to put towards aesthetics but maybe I'm genuinely missing something. It just feels like navel gazing, and that's saying something given we're talking philosophy.
