This doesn't follow because the assumption that it has to take the form of consumption is unwarrented. People have competed to be the most ascetic or otherwise most virtuous or holy on massive scales before. Certain kinds of religious people, activists, hippies and the like still do. It could be the culture again.

- guerrilla 3y agoThere's nothing miserable about minimalism, quite the opposite. There's a joy from freedom and peace from reduced stress. It's the hamster wheel and packratting that causes misery.
