Ordinary Banana

is it easier to know what you loathe?

it’s easier to come to the conclusion “I loathe x [for y reason]” but it’s often wrong (e.g. salt tolerance changing)

why do you need to know the reason?

for future predictions

but I’ve been wrong even about the judgment itself

not sure what that means. you've experienced a sequence of comparable but distinct circumstances, had preferences for one set of them, abd then ??

im assuming you dont just mean your preferences changed over time, since that's obviously a whole different mess

yeah it’s not changed prefs but lack of insight - realizing e.g. that I hated something after thinking I liked it or the opposite
