> Does novelty have no value for you?
I'm not in the camp of "novelty has no value" but also not in the camp of "novelty automatically makes things better or worthwhile"
The only point of novelty is to discover new things I enjoy.
Eating at a fine dining restaurant and coming away with "that wasn't very good but it sure was novel" would be disappointing, and I'd probably think I had wasted my time and money on it compared to going to my favorite restaurant and eating my favorite meal there.
