Re: Do We Perceive Beauty in an Unexpected Context
One thing that this story possibly suggests to me is that the
average person has to be told what is good art or music, etc, and
they don't have the ability to discern it themselves.
I don't think we can assume that's the case in this instance. If the
majority of those people were on their way to work, they didn't have
time to stop and listen. They may very have arrived at work and told
their co-workers that they had just heard the most insanely talented
violin player in the subway, and regretted they didn't have time to
listen more.
