VENTURE CAPITALISTS MUST BECOME ARBITERS OF TASTE. FOUNDERS MUST BECOME TASTEMAKERS. THE PROFESSIONAL MANAGERIAL CLASS MUST BECOME POST INTERNET ARTISTS. NFT COLLECTIONS MUST COLLABORATE WITH BALENCIAGA TO STAY RELEVANT. EREHWON MUST COLLABORATE WITH KEITH MCNALLY TO INFILTRATE THE EAST COAST. CANAL STREET MUST BECOME SAFER FOR TOURISTS. THE TENT CITIES OF KENSINGTON MUST BECOME AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR IF MR. BEAST IS EVER GOING TO SOLVE THE OPIOID CRISIS. ERC-721 TOKENS MUST BECOME ERC-1155 TOKENS WHICH WILL BECOME ERC-20 TOKENS WHICH WILL SHORTLY SELF DESTRUCT.

JUST AS THE ABSENCE OF POLITICS IS A POLITIC ITSELF, THE ABSENCE OF TASTE IS A KIND OF TASTE, MAKING THE TRUE ABSENCE OF TASTE (VIRTUALLY) IMPOSSIBLE. WHAT THEN IS THE OPPOSITE OF TASTE? JUDGEMENTS MADE IN AN AESTHETIC VACUUM BY AN ACTOR INCAPABLE OF PRACTICING TASTE.

THE OPPOSITE OF TASTE IS COMPUTE. JUST AS AN EXCESS OF TASTE WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DECIDE WHERE TO HAVE DINNER, AN EXCESS OF COMPUTE WILL HELP YOU OPTIMIZE TOWARDS THE MOST EFFICIENT POSSIBLE OUTCOME IN RECORD TIME. WHEREAS TASTE HELPS US NAVIGATE TOWARDS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING OUTCOMES, COMPUTE HELPS US NAVIGATE TOWARDS EFFICIENT OUTCOMES. IF COMPUTE BENEFITS FROM AN EXCESS OF INPUTS, TASTE DEFINITIONALLY BENEFITS FROM A SELECTIVE MENU OF INPUTS. TASTE ADDS FRICTION AND COMPUTE REMOVES IT.
