I know what your interests are

I figured it out. Interests are not based on the idea of personal preference. That in fact comes after what is even more important: economics. We like things based on the principal of supply and demand. I have already learned that as humans, we are happier if things are exclusively yours. It is already scientifically proven that people would rather earn less if everyone else earned even less. So, to like something would mean for it to not be attained by the populace.

However, there is a guideline involved. Yes, jealously is a necessity, but it needs to come from the right people. I can have the entire Kenny Rogers collection, but what good is it if the people who really want it, I don't really care about?

Exhibit A. I think baseball is boring. It is in fact a game and not a sport. But the reason why I go to these games is because we are in an exciting division. Toronto has access to catch Boston or New York games for only $2. I'm certain that fans of either team are incredibly jealous that we have the privilege to catch their team without fighting for overpriced scalped tickets due to a sold out game. Seeing how I am obsessed with New York culture, I guess I can grow to like baseball.

Am I close? Otherwise, please prove me wrong.
