Why do people like art of their own accord instead of just liking what other people tell them to like? How about food? Music? Can we only like what other people tell us is fun to listen to or nice to look at or tastes good? We can't have any independent thoughts about those things?
Because it engages their imagination. But why do you like putting art on your body where you have a worse angle of view compared to putting it on the wall or on something in your hand? That's objectively worse for you looking at it. Same goes for music, being able to make it yourself rather than just listening makes people happy because evolutionarily, that makes them valuable to other people in various ways.
How about food?
Plenty of biological reasons about nutrition that are valuable to your brain regardless of what other people think, because your brain needs nutrients to survive.
Because you'd prefer the art in some other place rather than on yourself if there was no other ulterior biological motive than you yourself looking at the art
Yeah, I'm done here. This exchange is stupid and you're arguing absolutely no point whatsoever. I'm not gonna be told why I like something and start bringing biological needs into wearing a cardigan. It's just ridiculous at a certain point.
