kids will say things like ā€œstrawberries taste better when I’m wearing my strawberry socksā€ and I bet they’re 100% right and this subtle sense of aesthetic gestalt is socialized out of us

@visakanv eating is a deeply contextual, multisensory experience you never eat the same strawberry twice

@visakanv I have preferred versions of plates/glass/bowls for specific foods and I legit enjoy those foods better in my preferred cutlery pairings. My tea/coffee tastes better when I drink from a specific mug. Same goes for cool drinks.

@visakanv You’re right. It’s basically the placebo effect which well-documented and often overlooked.

@visakanv With a bit of practice you can get away with this sort of thing. "Oh, no, I can't order laksa, I'm wearing a white silk shirt. And I always seem to spill it on meself." (true, but misleading. Really, it's coz If I'm not wearing red (or orange) or I don't want to eat laksa.

@visakanv @hermittoday A good friend of mine who is acutely sensitive to aesthetics dedicates so much of life to the aesthetic alignment of all details like this, but on far more dimensions. It's like aesthetic resonance is part of her conscious hierarchy of needs. And I've learned so much from her ā˜ŗļø

@visakanv I like my writing better when I write with my favorite fountain pens and inks so I highly recommend adults go back to finding their own thing.

@visakanv You recapture it by getting really into wine and believing in things like "nose" and "terroir"

@visakanv There’s a book called ā€œGastrophysicsā€ which details how aesthetics influence the taste of our food & drinks From plate color to cup shape and…lo and behold: The clothes we wear. Funny how we lose the sense, then develop a science to find it back. Brb, ordering steak socks.

@visakanv I don’t think it’s socialized out of us. Why do you think there’s such a boom for foods served in a bowl? It somehow tastes better.

@visakanv you taste everything three times: first with your eyes, then with your nose, and finally with your mouth

@visakanv Every year around this time I used to order my favorite meal from my favorite Chinese restaurant and watch episode 6 of Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation. There was no conceptual connection between the meal and the program, but it just felt right.

@visakanv Maybe it's more that we correctly outgrow these because they're too simple/boring/fake, but don't replace them with looking for the 'real thing'

@visakanv I have a toddler. He says too many things for me to build threads of magical thinking around. Kids aged 3-5 basically run around generating random sentences to see what resonate, much like they lurched about trying to walk before.
