I feel the problem with us humans we deviated from producing value by solving an actual problem. We focus so much on being big for the sake of being big acquiring assets to appear big and perpetuating economic slavery because we externally identify with things not internally with ourselves. We need to go back to producing value for others not perceived value by using advertising to falsely promote things as if it will help them but we secretly doing it for ourselves that's why no one buys it it's not useful or helpful or in the best interests like win-win

Y we being minimalistic is it because of communism/socialism, don't wanna pay taxes, we realised society is materialistic in the sense no one is really innovating but using branding to create the illusion of innovation, we all clones of bad social conditioning so we trying to be different, we struggle crafting an identity, we aren't spiritual anymore, we want to be part of communities, creativity is dead we trying to falsely be such? I'm curious no malice just curious why we obsessed with minimalism. Ps I don't advocate the opposite of minimalism just curious why we obsessed with it because it reminds me of asceticism.

@NetraLeader I feel like when you look at if people financially planned for the future like retirement understood tax and could read financial statements we would be better off. Plus this obsession with happiness will cause saturation thus leading to behavioural sink nihilism and libertine hedonism where we will revert to tribalism and ethnocentrism. Check out books on the happiness industry it's an interesting thing

@mathisnotforthefaintofheart Why is life seen in false dichotomies what I've noticed people really want social mobility moving up and down the ladder of life

@NetraLeader I'm curious why don't they just recycle this because less isn't necessarily more in the amount sense I feel like we as a society have mistaken growth for expansion. From your excellent explanation I feel like minimalism is a bandaid not a real solution. Secondly I feel like from your magnificent explanation it's an excuse like secular vilification and religious demonisation for those not winning to do it not saying I condone stupid excess. And thirdly why is capitalism and industrialism always blamed I don't see people migrating back to primitive huts and and old fashioned hunting. Fourthly I feel like beauty isn't just looks and aesthetics but virtue and truth (Ps I love your explanation it got me thinking broadly about society from a cultural and ideological level)

@NetraLeader Good question. I think oil will still be useful as well as plastic but it will no longer be commoditised it will need to be rebranded like home loans as refinance something like that. Most people are old dog thinking just changing the wrapping not the actual package

@booneboone9705 What I've realised money is easy plan for growth and implement. Study people give them what they want exactly how they want it specifically. We so solipsistic and narcissistic we can't realistically see ourselves others. We sell to others mentally masturbating thinking they us when they not then get angry with the feedback we know nothing like John snow. The solution disidentify and do neuroplasticity you'll succeed

@NetraLeader apparently interesting facts beauty isn't actually in the beholders there's something call the golden ratio golden mean it's used by the great artists to create scientifically good sculptures. Also interesting fact porn uses it to make it's women attract so people because hooked on it. I think I read it on a book about persuasive design in porn gambling etc
