Truth, Morality and Beauty: Not Just for Victorians (Ep. 12)

In this episode, we advocate for capital-letter Truth, Morality and Beauty in our purportedly post-modern world, and we argue that these ideals are not quaintly outdated, but necessary for society to function and for you (as an adult) to be at your happiest: Pursuing truth, morality and beauty are worthwhile goals even in modern times, and not just “Victorian” concepts. Maintaining lies, especially lies to oneself, can be psychologically and physically damaging over time due to the stress of keeping up deceit. Defining and staying connected to one’s own moral values and sense of right and wrong can help reduce anxiety and improve mental health. Universal human morality can be defined as behaviors that are pro-social and foster good social relationships and community. Foundations like religion previously provided backing for moral systems, so alternative foundations need to be established. Beauty can be defined as a balance between chaos and order, and things done with care and quality are more likely to be considered beautiful. Architecture and art should aim to be aesthetically pleasing since most people will experience it. One’s environment should aim to create positive feelings in others.
