My battle to consume less continues on every front: from clothes to household items to everything else. I have been ruthlessly paring down the list of things I want in my life to the absolute favorites.
Om Malik ā¢ The Consumerism Curse
And so people with a lot of resources are still unhappy, because they succumb to invented narratives about cultural distressāand then, once they buy something to avoid it, discover that itās still there.
Seth Godin ā¢ Cultural distress (and consumerism)
Physical Media Renaissanceā¢
youtu.bePhysical Media Renaissanceā¢ project and six key considerations: consumption, media ephemerality, perceived value, circular economy, friction, and taste.
We have the rare opportunity as consumers to do something powerful with our money. We can cast aside impulse and boredom to buy things with intention. We can reward the crazy people who still care about how and where something is made. We can buy something with real value. When we do this we get rewarded twice. We buy something made with passion, determination, decades of knowledge and by doing so we support our community. We also get something of true quality that will last.
To be clear: there is no certainty about this.
