Taste capital
WorkingMiddleBourgeoisie
Taste as a discipline. You know the producer, the vintage, and the correct opinion — lovingly insufferable.

booksFive books open, loyalty to none, finished in surprise bursts.

The cheese guy texts you first. Consider, truly consider, what chain of artifice had to be built for that sentence to exist. And yet — you do genuinely love the cheese. It's the loving quietly I question less than the list.
Allocation lists and first texts: insider access as the terminal form of cultural capital, where knowledge stops being learned and starts being granted. You no longer find the best things; the best things find you, which is the whole point.
