What would it be like to live in a world where the only person who formed your opinion was yourself? Think about it. Every single thought that you have, every like or dislike, and every decision that you make is somehow biased or shaped by someone else.
What if we lived in our own little bubbles, and weren't affected by anyone or anything but the own creativity and originality of our own minds.
How would it affect our individual fashion styles? Our music tastes, our food tastes?
I mean, seriously, who decided that raw fish eggs are a delicacy, and that extremely distorted guitars, static, and screaming lyrics sound good and therefore should have an entire following just to themselves?
It's interesting to ponder. Would you really wear that outfit if you weren't considering how other people would view it, and by extension, you?

Hmm, I don't know if we would ever develop much taste in the first place if we didn't constantly assimilate from our surroundings. I think the composer George Crumb said that anything we write is a result of everything we've ever heard up to that point.
the guy who decided caviar was a delicacy must have been very pursuasive... I think he was playing a practical joke on the rest of society
However, we could definitely benefit from being less self-conscious about our choices sometimes.
