A pretentious repeat of previous doco and talks
5 January 2021
How can 50 minutes seem so long? Just when I thought these guys couldn't become anymore pretentious, they go and one-up themselves.

They have somehow released a clone of their previous documentary and TED talks. They both stand and talk more about themselves and their lives than they do anything resembling minimalism. It's an astounding level of self-indulgent detail. This means I'm now equipped with more knowledge of the drinking habits of Joshua's dead Mother (she preferred Milwaukee's Best beer) than I do about the minimalism movement itself.

I was motivated to declutter my place prior to watching this. Now I feel like holding onto everything just out of spite for these guys and the way they presented this "documentary". I use the term "documentary" very loosely, because this mostly resembles some kind of ad for themselves and their blog than it does anything else.

Throw one item out each day for 30 days and see how it feels. There, I saved you the trouble of enduring this.
