Relations Between the Mind and the Validity of Opinions Regarding Entertainment?

[Lenie]

We as humans have evolved the ability to create scenarios in our head and experience them (imagination). That way we can predict how a situation will work out so we can avoid errors. Fiction simply plays into that.

Experiences are made up by the brain wich are greatly influenced by our DNA and then further molded by the enviroment. The way your brain is molded determines how you will response toward certain stimuli. So somethings will be more universally responded too by people who live(d) in the same enviroments or have similar genes.

I don't think something can be objectively 'cute', but there can be 'the experience of cuteness'. We can for example objectively measure that 90% of people have a 'cuteness response' to small nosed, large eyed and big foreheaded faces. But that doesn't make the face cute, its just that on average most people will respond with 'the experience of cuteness'. Its all about the way someone's brain is wired, if we find that out we can adjust the right stimuli and have the responses we want to give them.
