my wife and i looked at properties online. we can’t afford a nice plot of land with a small house in it. so we started thinking anti-mimetically about it. not that we want to buy something anytime soon. but what if? what do we really need? from first principles? —- so much of people‘s behavior is mimetic, following others or rooted in a desire to impress or gain social status (like a fancy home). behaving anti-mimetic while being true to one’s own desires one can open new paths and unlock new options. it is simple, but boy can i tell you, it is not easy.

I just spent a week in a remote property on a Scottish island. The owner lets it out in the summer months and she lives nearby in a 'mobile' home, aka caravan or trailer. More generally, it's an interesting question about fighting thoughts of 'social status'. Tough questions to answer, if I'm being brutally honest. · 8 months ago
