- vapid, empty, and self-loathing – the perfect woman

okay, okay; it’s not just wine. if this stanford/cit study proves right, it could mean the end of objective comparisons in many categories. it’s just that wine connoisseurs always seem like such asses, so why not pick on them? anyways, for those people who think a fine palette for fermented grape juice lends some amount of refined dignity to your character, let me be perfectly clear that you are a tool.
“Researchers from the California Institute of Technology and Stanford’s business school have directly seen that the sensation of pleasantness that people experience when tasting wine is linked directly to its price. And that’s true even when, unbeknownst to the test subjects, it’s exactly the same Cabernet Sauvignon with a dramatically different price tag.”
your brain is simply tasting what it wants based on expectations. so, all those stupid classes you took in napa valley were for naught. it was actually just a huge scam to part a fool from his money, and it taught you a meaningless lesson that covered up a very basic and simple idea; the more you pay, the more you enjoy.
to anyone hoping to become a wine aficionado, i would strongly suggest curbing that urge. of course, there are those people who are just such huge tool sheds that no amount of self control will prevent them from indulging in every superficial avenue of ego stroking and opportunity to be a smug bastard. to those people, i would like to announce that we are on to you. your worthlessness is beyond repair and no matter what you do, people will see you for how meaningless your existence is.
