Conversations and Meditations

Society & Culture


In this episode, Virgil and his previous guests, Danny and Matt discuss the intersection of class and taste and how both connect to culture. We each give our ideas on what a social class is and how its represented in our world. We then discuss the concept of taste, its connections to aesthetics, and whether or not its something connected to our evolutionary history, social construction, or perhaps both. The conversation moves into whether or not a class system impacts and shapes our tastes. This episode is meant to explore who we are in a society and why we enjoy, and we participate in things we find tasteful whether or not because of our social class.
