:Do you think scientists appreciate beauty more than artists?
:Have you heard what richard feynman said about flowers?
:Huh?
:Biology dept.
:I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is, I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty.
:That's the dumbest shit I ever heard
:Look, that kind of thing might fly in a physics classroom, maybe even with some artists, but try it at my dissection table.
:You think zoologists see extra beauty because they also know about the worms living in a dead possum's butt? How about the ubiquity of stds in the animal kingdom?
:"you the artist see only the beautiful creature, but I the scientist also know about the discharges produced by its untreated chlamydia!"
:Please stop
:Beauty and truth are cumulative
:Screaming
:In math, physics, art, and literally nowhere else!
