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?
Not trying to be a wiseass, but I actively try to avoid having or navigating by taste. It's the reason I often butt heads with tasteniks
*rubs chin tastefully* counter-taste is a sort of taste
Taste is social. Cultivating taste of any sort incurs a cost you pay in blunted non-social sensitivities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_(sociology) …
(Scanned page) I feel like that can be true and untrue at the same time? Eg being a smoker is - among non-smokers but + among other smokers
Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying
Right! I think then if you're already uncomfortable in conventional social settings, it makes sense to develop taste to find your weirdos
You're still not getting what I mean. I'm saying any kind of taste costs you in terms of blindness in Robinson Crusoe mode
Taste is how you you use other people to leverage solitary sensibilities. It's like sociocultural equivalent of industrial scaling.
I get the first bit!
But if you involve others in your solitary sensibilities, is it still solitary...?
What's a gd example of this irl
