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) …

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.

By defn that would be impossible. Involving others involves taste. Even the barest shared language of sensibilities introduces some taste.
