7·1 year agoA few have thought it was a political or even religious stance e.g. environmental-based, anti-corporation/capitalist. No I just don’t like lugging around and burdening myself with unnecessary stuff. although I suppose it does influence certain views e.g. sustainability.
I love taking photos, so many great moments have been captured, wonderful people, and stunning locations. It is also a creative release.
Do what suits you best. For me, I either shoot analogue or limit the photos I take during notable moments. I.e. you don’t see me recording a concert on my phone, nudging purges out of the way for that selfie, or paparazzi-style blasting friends and family during get-togethers.
I completely disagree with your premise about the free market and its implications; however I think the second question is helpful.
What are your guiding principles that help you make decisions in everyday life?
I support people and businesses that operate in a manner that is inline with my values. Similarly, that’s how I try to live. You vote with your money and your actions. Economically a freer market would better allow this; as an individual you have the power of choice over many things; collectively, aligned parties without ego and other ulterior motives, can achieve great things.
Some of the values I have surround the following:
- Healthfulness
- Kindness
- Utility
- Sustainability
- Efficiency
The traffic. Even if 8/10 posts would be easily answered by reading the sidebar, doing a search, or taking a long hard look at oneself; those 2 posts would be pretty good.
Watching less of these but still enjoy following:
- According to Nicole Canadian minimalist with interesting videos about lifestyle design, (FIRE, Minimalism, Stoicism, etc.)
- Simply Fatima Amiri- Kenyan rural minimalist, really interesting videos, different culture but many similarities, particularly in outlook
- Aki (Samurai Matcha)- A minimalist who is a school teacher living in a small village in Japan
- Joana Almeida - Architect who lives an productively minimalist lifestyle.
I’ve posted a list of ‘Extreme’ Minimalists on this site too.
Muji or Uniqlo are good go to shops.
