"Experiences not things" is a reaction against how my parents and other family live their lives. They don't have carefully chosen tools and possessions that maximize their possessions. They have mountains of garbage, huge houses stuffed to the rafters with a lifetime of Walmart shopping. Decaying, worthless, unused trash that can never be thrown away, protected like a dragon's hoard. Minimalism is not a rationalization for urbanism, it's a reaction against our trash-addicted magpie forefathers.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoYes, I recently read that the average American home has 300,000 items in it. Having so much stuff isn't helping you experience the world, it is a hindrance to it.
