[eldajaal1488]

good rythm, good singing. good painting good color palette
i feel like our ooga booga brain gets pleased from these on primal level the same as from eating or fucking

sharks are highest T animals but don't like art. your theory is shit

[Noonz]

have you ever seeen a chimpanzee wondering at blobs of paint on a canvas?
does he spend his day looking at "art"?


exactly.

[eldajaal1488]

obviously religious or ideological pride can push person to con self this art is good if it isnt technically, or make someone repress their liking for unnaceptable art.

[Noonz]

Never try coming up with another theory again. Leave it to REAL ponderers and thinkers like me. Not everyone has what it takes to make a good theory.

pretty sure animals can like music
and who knows even paintings

[Noonz]

Don't ever try to come up with a theory again.

Knowing how its made but lacking the talent to make it yourself is necessary to appreciate art/craft. 
This is whats holding back animals and you from enjoying art.

I agree, aristotle says imitation (mimesis) is the most primordial human instinct, and all arts originated as ways of creatively imitating the natural world because simply imitating anything at all is pleasurable. Ie cavemen liked to draw bears and then look at the bear they drew and giggle saying “it looks like a bear this thing i just drew hehe”. Or why babies like to copy you just for the sake of it

I only like beautiful people, beautiful goals and short videos in my phone

Animals seem to derive pleasure from food and sex, but I've not been made aware of animals deriving pleasure from art. With the assumption that animals are more primal than humans, I'd have to disagree with the premise made by OP.

add f before art and see what happens
