"Hey look buddy, I"m an Engineer that means I solve problems, not problems like "what is beauty?" because that would fall within" the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance how am I gonna stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer; use a gun. And if that don"t work? Use more gun. Like this heavy-caliber tripod-mounted little old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope not pointed at you."
