“. . . that makes me think about the notion of choice as a mirage, and what’s really being offered when we say choice is something more like options. Even in such cases the options are essentially the same, and none are satisfying, and we settle for an arbitrary “best” of what’s offered. The taste test is a look at two or more of the same thing in order to convince someone, perhaps ourselves, that some kind of meaning or consequence lies hidden within, and that through examination and data collection can be extracted. This is the perversion that is the taste test. And this is why I am drawn to it.”
