Good taste and personal liberty dance together,
Both thrive in complexity.
Take art as an example.
Art operates on the human psyche.
Like freedom, great art transcends individual whims and speaks to universal truths.
Its value lies in how deeply it resonates, or sometimes just having the right tastemaker deem it worthy of institutional approval.
Bring to mind Basquiat, the Sistine Chapel or Beethoven’s Ninth.
They endure not because they were popular, but because they connect us to something profound.
Taste is it not about consensus, rather it lives in the realm of discernment.
Recognizing good taste and cultivating style is an act of sovereignty—choosing depth over surface and truth over distraction.
