What's that Yohji Yamamoto quote, to be modern is to tear the soul out of everything lol

Taste is a result of education, as our dearest anon pointed out below >>18505735
It's very similar to osmosis. You're trying to learn as much as you possibly can, and 'evaluate' is constantly, and the easiest and best way to do that is diving headfirst into a media environment where this stuff continually surrounds you. I was a fashion student, but had a budding interest in architecture and interiors, and so I went and worked at a design firm, just one of doing it. You could also lock yourself in a bedroom and consume this stuff 24/7 for years, like I did with fashion previously.

>you had no problem participating in the shit flinging when you had a few Anons backing you up.
I left almost every thread(sans the first one) prior to them kicking off. Once we hit the bump limit, the quality of these threads jumps off a cliff, so not much point sticking around.
As for your repeated references to the soul of whatever, I'm not interested in the conversation because we're not saying anything new or elucidating here(at least for me), I think you're directionally correct fwiw, but i disagree with a lot of your minutae and think you're relying too hard on certain explanations(similar to what Groy's called readymade's but not quite) as being all encompassing/omnicause/pick your favourite euphemism here, but it's also fine because you're young and have ages to refine your thinking.
You are also correct that I don't have an issue with you in particular. If I recall, it was a particular point you made in the first thread that I objected to in a multi-reply post where I responded to 3-4 other anons in the same reply.
Also, what's wrong with Twitter? I originally got on there for work, but I've met so many intelligent/creative/talented/successful people who are now IRL friends there, same as I have here.
