Yes, but I would hope that they would, no, could, do more than just analyze and, in essence, shred every beautiful holistic entity into a billion infinite lifeless parts and pieces.
What's to say that those pieces are lifeless? They have such potential.
I don't know.
You focus too much on one tiny part, and you lose sight of the bigger picture.
But what's to say you truly see that picture without seeing its elements?
But what fun is that!?!??
The combinations, my dear. The reactions you create with the techniques you throw together. The knowledge that the person on the receiving end is engulfed in waves of pleasure. The satisfaction that you can give someone that sort of pleasure. The secret part of her body that no one but you knows will drive her wild.
You're telling me that's not fun?
The greatest "things" are the ineffable ones.
Nah, they're just the ones we're limited in our observation of. The great "thing" is the whole interconnected universe, with a whole bunch of interesting parts that interact with one another. As we learn more about it, we integrate more fully into that structure.
It's like the people who conceive of humans as something separate from the Earth. I don't understand that perspective, seems rather immature to me.
How can you objectify Love?
The impulse humans have to maintain social bonds among themselves, including those associated with reproduction and the raising of children.
That may seem cold and abhorrently analytical to you, but that doesn't make it inherently so. Someone else might read that, and have a beautiful panoply of imagery form within their mind, as the implications of that statement are made manifest. We take the world in different ways.
You've heard of the concept of mathematical beauty, right? Such a thing may seem counterintuitive, but then again, what is music at its essence but a series of mathematical relationships, anyway? "Truth is beauty, beauty truth"; and then you have something like this:
Seems like a bunch of letters on a page, right? However, the beauty of it comes from its simplicity, and the implications. What are they?
They couldn't be more profound. Simply put, if there is a god, when he said "let there be light", that's exactly how he said it.
There is unfathomable beauty in analysis.
