Cheerskep, I ignored 80% of your argument for why my notion of "taste" is so alien to what most people have in mind when they say "Ellen has taste" --- because, in our discussions here, I don't care about the common usage of any important word.
Remember an earlier discussion we had about what most people have in mind concerning the word 'art' ? Who cares ? The contents of what most people have in mind is an issue for marketing experts - and it bores me. I think our job here is to "argue about such things as the nature of so-called "aesthetic experience" -- but I don't think it's especially useful to speculate on what most people have in mind -- rather, I'm interested in what each contributor to the forum has in mind when noticing that one experience is so special that it's worth remembering, recommending, and maybe even subsidizing and teaching others how to have. What makes such experiences so special to you? Can't you apply your demand for clarity to answering that kind of question ? _____________________________________________________________ Earn ATM Machine Profits While You Sleep. Simple and Easy.
