Thank you Mike for writing this article, and sharing all these details with us. The world indeed needs minimalism, now more than ever, yet I feel, and this is similar to what you've conveyed, that the world first needs to come out of the tendency of FOMO and consumerism. And learn to live more in harmony with mother nature. Only when we respect and care for mother nature and our natural ecosystems that we will genuinely begin to reduce our consumption and live a simpler life, that won't be motivated by FOMO or financial constraints.
