I generally am not a fan of stuff. It just feels as if I am borderline forced to constantly buy junk that I don't care about. and for what? We just keep buying stuff and all this stuff accumulates and I just want to Marie Kondo away most of my stuff

Every now and then though, I find things that look like they just feel, good. What does that mean? Well, upon seeing it, it makes me imagine a life with them, maybe something I actually want to live with it. I want to come home to it, and use it day in and day out.

Don't you find that there is an incredible disconnect between our concept of how something we like actually fits into our life, when we see an image of it, have it described to us, feel the burning desire to own it, and the actual owning, or using of that product? It's like Plato's shadows on the cave wall.

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

That moment you see something you want is like a solution in search of a problem. Often it's a better version of something I already own that already addresses the problem, but you know it's 1% better!
