- Aesthetic simplicity requires wealth to maintain
- Voluntary scarcity is fundamentally different
Disagree
- Reducing consumption has inherent environmental value
- Philosophy isn't invalidated by privilege
- Some minimalists genuinely reduce their means
- Intentionality matters regardless of options available
