  1. Our readingTaste is practised by exposing yourself to how the world is ordered, and understanding how that makes everything look.

    Their wordsI think that's what defines taste you're exposed to these underlying configurations of how things look and we always search for symmetry you always search for things that are in order accidentally the nature is is perfect right everything is in order it's mathematically perfect but at the same time you know they change they move they're colors they're light so exposing yourself to those things and and understanding how these things make everything look is how you practice taste

How recent

The line under a date fills as the words age, a quarter at a time: past a month, six months, a year, and three years. Empty means said within the last month; full, more than three years ago. It says when, not whether it still holds — a change of mind is marked on the claim itself.

Dashed means we only know the words existed by that date; they may be older.
