- Likes and dislikes are constructed identity
- Ego needs preferences to feel special
- True self has no preferences, just is
Disagree
- Preferences emerge from authentic self-knowledge
- Taste reflects values and experiences
- This erases legitimate individuality
- Preferences are how we navigate reality
