    I think about this a lot—Ira Glass on the virtue of taste in creative work. (But cf. Dunning–Kruger: how can we know if we have good taste?)pic.twitter.com/xZbQ8aEfKe

        Q: In which (single) area of life do you have the best taste? Optional follow-up: Do you work in that area? Why or why not?

        Hard question. Have trouble ignoring curiosity about areas of known bad taste surrounded by off-limits signs, but that's dif. from ignorance

        Iron Law of Taste-Bureaucrats: those who want to preserve a particular church of taste tend to be the enemy of those on a creative mission

        Taste is a useful evolutionary response to endless cultural output, given that we don't have time to read/watch/listen to everything
