Quoted: Lynn Tillman on questioning taste; preferences

I regularly question my preferences. Why I like like or dislike writing, a photograph. I don't trust experience, even if it has shaped me. I don't fervently trust what I think or what I believe, while I believe it still. A pox on absolutes! I could trace a genealogy of what I think and what I like, which is, to some extent, what I was exposed to, taught, made conscious of, and decided not to be or accept. -- Lynn Tillman from What Would Lynn Tillman Do? 

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Why I don't trust experience, even if it has shaped me. I realize this probably won't win me any popularity points, but there's too much implicate trust in experience,  as the lone barometer of judgement, forgetting that experience is wholly subjective.
