Two Popes are observing the world. There could be two responses. One says that the world reflects God's beauty and therefore we must worship God and His infinite wisdom and love. Another says WE must make the earth a beautiful garden for US Humans, and WE must protect the environment and the climate so all Humans can live in it.

But we can also acknowledge that it has never been harder to resist subjectivism and relativism than today?
That we live in society where technology, capitalist consumer culture, and a plethora of information and choices has forced us to be highly self-referential just to get by? That has diminished the respect for a hierarchy of knowledge? There 40 types of toothpaste. Now I personally have to decide what is best!
It is the paradox of choice. We make a lot more decisions today than our ancestors did. Itâs exhausting for our brains that havenât evolved from our far simpler primitive pastroots. And subjective feelings becomes a tempting shortcut for decision-making then it bleeds into other areas of our un/conscious.
Responsibility and discipline are critical. But as organizational coach, I know that structure has to be there if you want the majority of people to do X. Willpower is not inexhaustible. Humans are not built like salmon â that is, to constantly swimming upstream against a powerful downstream.
Most people donât have church or strong community to help keep them on track. Thatâs a whole other topic.
A world that manipulates us our dopamine reward systems, hijacks and exploiting our primitive need for significance and emotional safety? Giving us a facsimile sense of both but far quicker and easier than spiritual practice, even though it is the better path?

Humans enjoy waterfalls probably because itâs a source of water. It is our subjective nature to find them beautiful. It makes no sense for something to be beautiful in itself. The word doesnât even make sense if there is no one there to call it beautiful. And subjectivity is made very obvious by the fact that humans have differing opinions on what is beautiful and what isnât. You want to think youâre special by being able to âapprehendâ objective beauty and lord it over everyone else. Itâs like getting mad when someone has a different taste preference for ice cream flavors. And these people clearly have the most pride, since they think they are objectively correct about something so simple and subjective as ice cream. The fact that this tendency exists in this example should make you wonder if this tendency operates in other areas in life as well. We didnât exactly evolve to just instinctually know that our feelings are subjective; they wouldnât exactly be as compelling if the illusion of objectivity didnât existâŚ

But when we notice something sublime l, isnât it also that we feel it as well? I mean even Melkor was so transfixed over the beauty of the Silmarils that he didnât blind for days.
Perhaps a better analogy is difference between the person who recognizes the beauty of a waterfall and the person whoâs first instinct is to take a million selfies in front of it then moving on instead of marvel king in its majesty?
Like if Morgoth obtained the Silmarils then immediately began taking selfies and posting them on Insta? Lol

Actually it's just two people having two different experiences... one is Se and one is SiFi... the issue isn't the introverted experience... it's the extrapolation into a philosophy excluding the extroverted side of life... when Jesus wept over Lazarus I bet he felt feelings and had internal pain... hence the tears... so you have slightly missed Lewis' point...

Yes, subjectivism appears as humility, but actually it's the core of pride.
