Minimalism is great for lazy people and poor people too

Paradoxically, poor people tend to clutter because of a scarcity mindset. Source, I can't see my floor.

That was actually big big making sure you had no money to buy from big small. America used to be all about big medium but now big mega big has forced us all to big nothing or big small at best. It's a big problem.

I've got so many large format coffee table books on the topic of minimalism. I find them inspiring and they fill out the space on my bookshelves.

Well that's just not ambitious enough. You need to wallpaper a room with minimalist coffee table books

If less is more, just think how much more more is!

If less is more then more is less. Just think how much less of more you get when you get more of less and how more of less you get when you get less of more. More or less.

It's literally true though. There's so much minimalism themed shit on amazon and the likes that you can buy to "de clutter" your life. Not that they invented it but it's certainly been commodified.

It's insane how much you can entertain yourself but just being really present

"Big small", was that one rapper, right? Didn't know he pushed minimalism on us, then again, he did sing "mo money mo problems".

He wasn't really that much small, just sort of biggie small so that he would sell just a little bit more.

I knew the Scandinavians where up to something with their IKEA propaganda! We need to go back to crazy embroidery with gold highlights on everything. Just need to find the money...

I got a lot less and I'm a lot happy with it. I was able to take it home little by little in one single drive home.
