The New York Times recently printed two disparaging and disheartening articles about minimalism. Their narrow, primary point of reference came from extremists, and extremism in any form is unhealthy, off-putting, and not representative of the whole. In this episode, I respond to these articles by explaining what minimalism is to promote understanding and moderation.
The New York Times articles:
Kyle Chayka’s “The Oppressive Gospel of Minimalism”
Stephanie Land’s “The Class Politics of Decluttering“
