on curation, creation, and cultivating personal taste. this is how I would distill my taste and intuit about the ideal human experience.

people experiences

cultivating a local guild of crafts-men and women: not incredibly public-facing, yet feels like your own super-niche network of thinkers. for me, that means:

• peculiar level of seriousness + intensity, perhaps unnerving to some
• intense curiosity about some obscure field (ex: fashion designer for historic uniforms)

beauty

principled aesthetics (form, symmetry, etc).

knowledge & discourse

curating a knowledge palette

• ingest a diet high in excellence : absorb ruthlessly from the masters and embody their craft. exceptionalism breeds exceptionalism
