      Im going to take some context clues and assume that is an author for some kind a minimalist movement. I don’t actually know what movement may be round that word but I use that word (which you know just because someone rights a book or blogs about it or makes youtube videos. it does not make them end all and be all for use of the term) because I am disillusioned with the corptocracy we have become and am trying to not engage with it as much as possible. Then also my mom was a hoarder and I want to be as opposite of that as possible. Then I also like things that make sense to me and make my life easier. Like over ten years ago I bought one of those outdoor patio sets. Thats my couch and coffee table now. The chairs did die and I had to dispose of them unfortunately but the couch and table are holding up like champs. They were cheap, are easy to maintain, and super easy to move to vaccum or sweep under. This to me is what minimalism about to me. simplify in a way that makes life cheaper and easier. granted that is not anti coporate example but I did buy it long ago. just got a blender from the 60’s in good condition from an estate sale though. solid glass for the liquid and oof its amazing how heavy the mechanical part is.
