  1. An #economicsystem based on #community, not on rapacious #profit—that is what a vow to support #MotherEarth requires. That is a twenty-first century version of the monastic vow of #poverty. #NewMonasticism #VoluntarySimplicity bit.ly/4k1KUr6

  5. Once again a white middle class man saying voluntary simplicity is a good thing but too hard. I think his imagination is not very well developed. Myself and friends are already doing it while he just thinks about it. #amreading #voluntarysimplicity #frugalhedonism

  10. Dear Friends of low tech, ​:anarchy:​
    ...aka lo-tech. As we may know we should always 'be prepared'. Just like the girl guides, boy scouts or the real techies.
    ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​
    So for example in my go-bag:
    1. Portrait of St Ignatius
    ​:ablobcatangel:​
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_by_Design
    2. Candle, notepad and pencil
    🕎🕯️📝
    3. Sleeping bag
    ​:firefish_sleepy:​

    I may include the latest version of
    #EasyOS (Puppy Linux derivative) but maybe that would make me useful. Mostly I am not. Then I am ready to head for the hills. Is that a bit too much? Maybe I just need a jacket with everything? 🪶

  11. Rode on a bus to my babys swimming lesson. Now chilling in an upmarket mall sitting on a velvety couch with my baby sharing a bowl of home made oatmeal, in front of a Louis Vuitton store and another one selling Debeers diamonds. Enjoying being very present, relaxed and content.

    That saying "Being in the world but not of it" comes to mind.

  12. Dear Friends of $$$
    As we may know. Easy to give up when you have more than required. Just like giving up:
    - vices we don't have
    - imaginary cyber 'friends'
    - interest in the boring
    Meanwhile some of us have drained ourselves and are trained into simplified lifestyles...

  13. Probably most people are an "Accelerationist" of some form. It just depends in what area you are lacking patience or fearful or overly excited about.

    Is there something you want to accelerate?

    Many people feel we are close to some catastrophe. I find that this kind of tension can be self-fulfilling when it proliferates.

    Maybe its a matter of taking the foot off the accelerator of our own minds and seeing where our power truly lies..

  14. @GreenerFutures

    Haven't read the book but sounds like its advocating a moderately regulated form of capitalism?

    The idea that unfettered market forces are the solution to everything is like saying the "race to the most unethical and profitable solutions" will always save us.

    Also "clean technology" is currently always manufactured by fossil fuels.. because its cheaper to.

    I find personal and pleasant. I hope others find their love for it, regardless of system.

  15. @shojiwax Personally the two biggest things that naturally led me to the Solutions without thinking about it, are: and . Maybe these are captured by which I had not heard of till now.

    A big part of Spirituality (not to be confused with religion/dogma) is seeing that materialism is a fail, and developing inner-worth instead. Realizing that everything (i.e. environment, other living things/people) is interconnected. Naturally you reduce consumption.
