Caveat: Less

This is comedy. Or maybe not. Painful, if it’s comedy.

I think I should have less stuff. I’ve given up owning a car. I live in a 200 sq ft apartment, fairly contentedly. But I still have a storage unit in Minnesota with 5000 books and assorted furniture. I still have more clothes than I wear. I still have 2 (and a half) computers.

Simplify. Keep simplifying.

Here’s something from TED, on a similar theme. I’m not entirely impressed with it – its default starting point is a  level of consumption I never actually reached in my life. But the same point can be recursively applied, and should be recursively applied, relentlessly.

Below is a picture I took in June 2010. Just because I want to put a picture.
