Except the point Ira is making is that your tastes are good. He's trying to build up the listener. I understand your perspective, and you'd be right if he was saying "My tastes are good", in an exclusionary way

But he's not. He's saying "You're not happy with your work because you know what sounds good and this isn't it. But it will be. Keep going."

And I think that's pretty goddamned positive

Just that something is inclusive and sounds nice doesn't make it true. And I don't think anything that is obviously a BS statement could make me feel good. If you're allright being flattered about your taste by a person that doesn't obviously give a fuck about taste, fine. I'd find it distrurbing and completely undermining someone's trustworthness.

That fact that something should be this way or another does not correlate with how it actually is.

Jesus dude, who pissed in your Cheerios?

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

There, there. Now let's cry a little more and maybe try that Am once more if it doesn't hurt your little hands too much.

Great "creative work" and man, what good taste. Also, on the spot, argumentatively. Hits me so hard. Ouch! I whish I wouldn't have wasted my time playing guitar so I might have become a social net lizard like you.
