gollark: You *can*, but loading all the information - much of it conflicting - into your brain *has* been known to lead to a few moderately problematic side effects.
gollark: Now, while modern mindstate execution is fully deterministic, people aren't perfect judges of the "best" thing and there's some noise, so you probably want to use comparison counting sort or something.
gollark: You can either read aesthetic appreciation data out of their mindstates and rank that, or just use one per *comparison* instead.
