eigenrobot on the contemporary mythos: denying beauty's reality as a developmental failure
eigenrobot · x · 2026-11-06
- eigenrobot quotes a passage on how people compulsively demand demystification of anyone beautiful, strong, and virtuous, assuming hidden flaws.
- His point: what's scarce now isn't heroes without weaknesses, but heroes whose weaknesses don't fundamentally justify their existence. The contemporary failure mode is denying that beauty might be real—or assuming it must be wicked if it were.
- The attached image shows lyrics echoing the sentiment of the oppressed by figures of beauty.
