Is it really impossible to appreciate owning well-made objects without devolving into consumerism? I used to have a crappy kettle that brought me frustration. Now I have a nicer one that makes better coffee and I enjoy owning and using it. If you wanna call that consumerism, fine, but it certainly isn’t a big part of my identity.
