Less is less

That's less. Less is just less and that's it. The core, the main gain
from less is that you get less and not more. So whatever you do, you
will do less. Whatever you try to achieve, you will need less to
achieve. Instead of running 10 km, you will just 5 km. Instead of
buying 2 cars, you will not buy any. Your machine will consume not
100 watts, but 10 watts. Not owning 20 t-shirts, just 5. There is
always less. It does not magicaly gives you something more. That's
the point. To get or give fucking less. Less nonsense.

The absence itself is the value, not a hidden more.
Many lost humans pretend less just in the name to get more. So yes,
something like "less is more" is practically bloat. It means, get
more. Maybe more something else, but still more.

Less is not even zero-sum game. It's minus, negative-sum game.
Whatever was status, it will be less. 20 t-shirts minus 15 and you
have 5. End of story. You gain nothing, you have nothing more. Just
less garbage.

So having less does not mean more, no matter what. No more freedom,
more happiness, no more time. No. You will have less garbage. Some may
feel they get something in exchange. Their feeling is not important
here. Objective and absolute fact is, that with less, you have less.

It's state of being, just less, not some outcome of it. Outcome can be
anything. Less food, then death. Or less money and homeless. So don't
count with more if you want to achieve less. If you want some gain,
just get more you hoarder.

Let's be practical. You write some half broken script. Minimal small
compared to regular respected bullshit. You have less code, less bugs,
less work, less stress, less everything. The value. What more you
gain? More life because nothing to do, so you will go walk and train
hits you and kill you? Not really more life.

HHKB classic. Happy Hacking Keyboard classic eats 7 mA no matter what
I do on it. Less power consumption than anything at your table. No
RGB, no USB hub, no more anything. It has less everything. This little
shit has even less keys that's healthy. So what is the value of this
less here? The gain isn't more power or more features, but simply less
demand on power sources, less complexity, and less distraction.
The value is in the pure reduction. Less is less here.

My monitor Lenovo ThinkVision T24i-30 eats around 8 watts. Less power
consumption. It has 60Hz refresh rate. Less refresh rate. I get less
blinking. No auto features. I setup and let it breath. It does not
have stupid sensors which monitors my heartbeat to adjust parameters.
I am the god here, I command and it obeys.

Saying no to things. It's not more free time but less obligation.

So if you know that you have more than enough, you will need less to
be balanced. Less to have less. If you have no idea how to have less
or to achieve less, I can assure you, there are around 8 billion
people on the Earth who can help you. They will be more than happy to
take something from you, so you have less. That's pretty easy.

With less you can achieve optimal state, balance. Less around you, you
can focus. Less is absence of something. So there is time, there is
clarity, there is peace, there is freedom. No more, but pure essence
of it. You can't get more freedom or time. You have it or not. You are
it or not. With less, you can.

If you want less you have to be willing to substract something from
your life, no exchange one thing for someting else.

If you have less thoughts, you have nothing more in head. The place,
if we can call it that way, where your thoughts were before will be
not filled with something else. You will not get even empty space in 
exchange. You get exactly nothing. I know, sometimes it may feel that
some people have a lot of air in their head. But, let's be now honest.
How it comes that we think that thoughts are in head? Think about it.

Imagine my keyboard eats approximately as little as your Caps Lock
LED on your keyboard. So who is idiot here?
