I think if you replace ‘aesthetic sense’ with ‘System 1’/‘gut feelings’ the post makes more sense. Taking ethics specifically, I think a lot of cases of “naive consequentialism” could be seen as following one’s rational sense despite the protests of one’s aesthetic sense.
Maybe we shouldn’t completely conflate ‘aesthetic sense’ with ‘System 1’ but I personally really like this framing.
