I am quite aware of my unconventionality. As far as I know, I'm independent and very, very lonely in buying the above reasoning. Many ethicists try to make some vague nod in favor of preserving works of great art, but then pass off which works of art are great to the aestheticists and don't care about lesser works. I follow that intuition all the way down and think that stuff in general shouldn't be destroyed unnecessarily.
