re: your email--i guess you got me on that one. quantifying and hierarchizing are irresistible, i admit that we cannot avoid them.
what i wish is that we wouldn't, so much. for instance, with regard to music, i could pick a "favorite," but the terms of that favoritism are necessarily reductive and purposefully ignorant of a range of factors.
rather than feign a logical definition, a numbered list of what i like, i just offer what i do like, and try to ward off classifications....
