One-think is the term I use to describe the collective mendacity, intolerance, incompetence, and hubris that covers our world [see photo]. The most toxic element of "one-think" is the collaborative effort between individuals who choose to think, act, and believe in the same things in the same way. There is no room for discourse, debate, difference, deviance, or defiance from the moment an individual becomes a disciple of "one-think".
The antidote to "one-think" is cooperation between individual minds which value freedom, difference, independence, imagination, humour, and evolution. My term for this mindset is minimal-you which allows you to live a life based on individual needs not collective wants. Minimal-you is a unique version of an individual which can be curated if, and only if, he or she escapes from the strong social ties that create a cult, clique, clan, creed, or tribe. To survive as a minimalist you must loosen your social ties to the global collectives who dictate language, prescribe habits, and propagate a religious faith in the greater good.

The mind of a minimalist is developed on a unique sense of you which, in turn, is based on individual needs not collective wants. For instruction on how to establish your sense of you: go to minimal-you.com and hit the "become a minimalist" button in the banner heading. This will take you to a payment scheme for a 10 day programme that will teach you how to design, enforce, and live with mind filters: these help you to be the best person you can be.
