taste > skills
taste seems more scarce these days, and increasingly differentiating in the age of AI where so much of skills-based productivity is offloaded to compute.

makes me think about the development of taste, and how we nurture taste for the next gen of humans.

The framing doesn’t resonate tbh. Skills beget tastes beget skills beget tastes, etc. It’s all in pursuit of quality and values

Taste is an infinite game, skills a finite one. But they’re part of the same process. Taste is the underlying form that guides the function of skills in a dynamic values process

You can always refine your skills. I would not say skills are finite. Knowledge isn't finite.

This raises a salient distinction: the pursuit of skills (infinite) vs the relative comparison of skills in a well-defined, rules-based domain (finite).

The player can always refine their skills and skill refinement is not a winning or losing game. When skills go head-to-head in certain domains, winners/losers emerge.
