      hmm ... 2x2 matrix with "stuff I like vs stuff I don't like" vs "high quality vs low quality" might draw one up w science fiction

      2/ the important thing here is that it's important to realize that Quality is real, and is not exactly the same as "what I like". Samuel R Denaly was a good writer, but I didn't like what he wrote. etc

      In theatre grad school that was a favorite bar argument among doctoral students: “What is the greatest play you hate, and does its greatness make you hate it more?” (And it was a basic premise that if you couldn’t conceive of that category you were no scholar)

      One of the great things, imo, about thinking consciously about these being independent traits is that it then gives you a route to like--in a sense--things you don't like. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1483513945331847175 …

      I’ve been ranting about this since I was a teen. One of the hallmarks of maturity, to my mind, is understanding that just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean it sucks. My go to example is most bluegrass music. It hits my neurons badly- but I respect the skill. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1483514365672398851 …

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Moshe Yudkowsky

      6/ hmm, seems similar to the Latin "De gustibus non est disputandum" In matters of taste, there can be no disputes. ...and, even tho I use the phrase a lot, I disagree with it. In matters of PREFERENCE, there can be no [ productive ] debate, but >>https://twitter.com/MosheYudkowsky/status/1483526456760283139 …

      7/ I suggest that even people who dislike, say, asparagus can acknowledge that there are more and less skilled executions of an asparagus based dish.

      Now I'm wondering if @MorlockP and I have been at the same "con" [translation: science fiction convention] and just haven't met. Or, worse yet, have met and I don't remember.

      I love it. And agree. Hmmm...what is the greatest SF novel I hate? Probably Dhalgren. There are other great SF novels that I don't much care for, but "hate" is a high bar...

      11/ The bloated sun looming over the city. The meat hooks swinging in air with no breeze. The bread that had mold all the way through it. Yes...visually stunning / infectious novel.
