How To Develop Personal Taste ( in a world of copycats)

Why do we like the things we like? Is personal taste something we’re born with, or is it something we develop over time? In a world driven by algorithms, trends, and constant validation, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between what genuinely resonates with us and what we’ve simply been taught to admire. In this video, we explore the philosophy and psychology of personal taste through the lives of Diogenes and Grigori Perelman—two individuals who refused to shape themselves around society’s expectations. We talk about: • Why everyone seems to look and think alike • The difference between authenticity and performance • How social media influences identity • Why personal taste changes throughout life • How books, art, music, and experiences shape who we become • What it means to truly belong to yourself Perhaps personal taste isn’t about appearing unique. Perhaps it’s simply the courage to remain honest with yourself in a world constantly trying to tell you who to be.
