I just saw an Instagram post with a stunningly gorgeous
woman being interviewed by a couple of men who I assume were enchanted with her
beauty. She had just landed in a small
helicopter in—perhaps Appalachia—there is currently a major disaster in Appalachia—but
it could be anywhere—and these two men were interviewing her. Her aesthetic beauty was unmistakable.
It turns out she was delivering starlink devices for
internet connectivity to I assume people who have no internet
connectivity. This could be because of
poverty or because of natural disaster or topographical preclusion to
connection— or something else.
I then thought about which is more beautiful? Her or the starlink devices? And I realized they were both beautiful. The starlink devices were so meaningful to
people who need them. Just as she is
obviously meaningful to people. But it
is less obvious how the starlinks are as aesthetically beautiful. It is less obvious how plumbing and
construction and internet and all of economics from liberty is as aesthetically
beautiful. But I see it.
It is like seeing a veins of a city from the air at night. Or time lapse photography of a freeway. That is how I see the potential of the world.
Every field of study or endeavor is beautiful. Every facet of life and vitality is beautiful. Because it is good. Every aspect of free interchange and vitality
is beautiful. Just like that woman.
What is not beautiful is power and control and coercion. Politics
and force. What is not beautiful is the hijacking
of liberty and augriculture for a crown.
