been thinking… if minimalism promotes ‘owning less’, isn’t that just another trend consumerism can co-opt? like when ‘less is more’ becomes a new product selling ‘curated simplicity’ 💭 maybe the system turns even simplicity into a bought-and-sold thing? just wondering if people here see this paradox or feel like it’s harmless. thoughts?

i've been thinking a lot about moral absolutism and how it's often presented as this ideal way of navigating ethics. but the more i consider it, the more i feel like it can be kinda limiting. like, doesn't it simplify the complexities of human experience? maybe we should focus on context and empathy. also makes me think of situations where moral codes can be used to justify hurtful actions, which feels wrong 🤔
