How do you know what you would crave if you refuse to even taste it?

Two assumptions as to why...

One, we have tasted and we don't like.

Two, we see the warning labels on the side.

Obviously the first one is in error because the requester refused to even try. The second one is in error because walking into a place and adding your own warning label to a product because of your own preconceived bias is a fallacy.

Then, by all means, consume away, despite labels put on by other people. In the end, Rex has said what he is interested in. It does not align with your... appetites, so drop the matter rather than say he's a fool for doing otherwise.

You have this habit of putting words in others mouths. I never called anyone a fool. Im fine with what rex is interested in, I could care less what he listens to. Im just stating a bit of philosophical wisdom that I find meaningful.

Excellent. Then we are in agreement. Let him consume what he wants.

Grasping at straws, really? Get back on topic.

Not sure if this is down your ally, Rex, but I'm a big fan of the Dude Soup Podcast. Just a bunch of nerds making nineties references.

I dont believe you have the authority to give me an order of this nature. In any event I am on topic. We are discussing the valid nature or not of suggested topics in podcasts. I find that valid. Rex asked for podcasts, some were provided, he dismissed those and since then we have been exploring why he dismissed those. What are the underlying reasons why some would be dismissed and others not. I find that valuable conversation.

I dunno, seems like you were trying to question if I understood the meaning of agreement... But whadda I know?
