ABSTRACT
Let’s assume, at least for argument’s sake, that you’re willing to consider that something like aesthetic value might exist, or that it would be beneficial to pretend that it exists. Either way, we still need to explore why more people aren’t clambering to acquire as much of this supposed value as possible: If it is so valuable in the abstract, why is it not more personally attractive to many people? In other words, we need (at least partially) to account for the thing that there’s no accounting for: taste.
