You bring up a valid point. Maybe Serloco is a magician who has an appreciation for mainstream content. Maybe he's just a farmer or truck driver. He did say he was a horticulturist.

Why can't magicians have primitive tastes? Their level of normal is centered around metaphysics. The intangible. It's practically expected that they would find fascination in rubber duckies and overall be easily entertained by the activities of muggles.
I like that song.
I see no obvious reason why not. *Exploring* "The Habitual Assemblage Point" or whatever you call it seems like a 100% valid thing to do, but as a general rule if the goal is to *break free of the HAP*, listening to the same music everyone else does and watching youtube videos with 3,000,0000+ views just seems like a weird way of going about that
I thought the HAP was based on individual habits, not the collective habit.
I'm quite fond of "I'm Sexy and I Know It". I think these are known as simple pleasures.
I don't know. I thought I was using it right but maybe not. I thought that was how rosygyro uses it. Very much collective habit.
Actually... it might just as well be the principle that makes us MISTAKE the collective habits for own individual habits. The way whole communities grow up reading the same books and eating the same foods and watching the same movies and wearing basically the same clothes but somehow still believing they are making their own choices of their own free will, as if other choices were possible but they just didn't want to make them.
