I think good taste is also acquired by building your own sense of aesthetics. What I mean by that is this idea that you need to have a build a highly sensitive radar for what you like and what you don’t like.

Something that is much easier to say than it is to do, yeah.

Yes. I think it also has to do with one's exposure to the world and diversity of aesthetics. Those with broader experience + more opportunities are able to hone their taste in a way that others are not. I think developing taste  also requires leisure, to some extent, plus curiosity + willingness to learn & discover.

Yes, I agree that breadth of opportunity doesn’t necessarily cultivate taste. I just think that for those who are curious and interested in pruning their life experiences, opportunity makes it easier. Taste is also somewhat subjective. What’s fine for one isn’t always fine for another

What if I pushed back on that with the paradox of choice and happiness in simplicity? I've met many very traveled people with opportunity galore who have zero idea of what they like and even worse taste. And they are not outliers.

Yeah, I agree, interest/curiosisity is an important aspect. If one is interested in cultivating one´s taste at all.
