Hmm, ok, let's use a small sample from this very thread:
Karma judgment (the zen master): "What we call minimalism comprises people who maximalize meaning, value, importance, and purpose."
Competition: "My girlfriend and I are very minimalist (err... maximalist?) owning only a few outfits each (no accessories), and just the bare necessities of home items. If we find something has no utility, it gets donated or trashed."
The True Scotsman: "Just to note, 'minimalists' are almost universally hated in every minimalist community I've seen and I would really not take them as any soft of spokespeople for minimalism."
Moral goalpost: "It sometimes amazes you how little you need to be happy yet everything we do is to get as much as possible."
- AstralStorm 9y agoYes, probably some drug or kind of simulation is enough. /s The question is ill posed since our brains are not wired for consistent happiness. You are probably mistaking it with being contented which starts by admitting defeat. And this is all orthogonal to efficiency or productivity which ate important social goals if not strictly personal ones. (Sometimes they partially coincide.)
