There was a person who was convinced that nobody actually enjoys music or art. They said everyone is just performatively pretending to enjoy these things for some reason. Or maybe everyone is just imagining their emotional responses to music/art, like some sort of mass delusion. I don’t remember all the particulars; this was a while ago.
I still kinda wonder if that person was just a really good troll
what i have learned more than anything in my work is that it is pretty incredible how sociopaths tattle on themselves constantly
Good find.
I don't like coffee, like, at all, but that doesn't mean that other people can't derive enjoyment from coffee and that their claims of enjoyment are all lies. I'd be pretty solipsistic to believe otherwise.
However artichoke enjoyers are philosophical zombies
