Newminimalists are the future of independent thought.
The future of independent thought is clear if you choose to address your needs rather than other peoples' wants [see photo]. The hardest way to live your life in a post-2020 world will be to promote yourself as a person who is capable of independent thought.
The "wrong way" choice is to continue the culture of "group think" that has prevailed in the early part of this Century. It is wrong in the sense that you will lose your courage because you are continually compromised by the people who you "hang with". Gradually you and all the other competent people in your spheres of life will withdraw because your most mundane thoughts are being force fed by incompetent cowards. Take a look around your life [right now] and you will spy the cowardice that tolerates and even promotes incompetence.
The "right way" choice is to let the momentum of this time carry you forward into an uncertain future. It is the "right way" in the sense that you will need no courage because you will be towed along by the most competent people around you. Gradually you and your competent colleagues will design, implement, and work within new systems that redefine what it means to be human on this planet. Take a look around you [right now] and take the time to identify the competent types who will define the post-2020 future for you.
The "my way" choice is to ignore the mob. This is the hardest choice. Indeed it takes all the spirit, and courage, that you may feel you lacked in 2020 while facing down the pandemic and the economic shutdown. It will take the utmost discipline you can muster to do this because you must find ways of thinking, doing, and being that are unique to you. Unique ways of thinking and being that can be shared with others to produce great outcomes for the world. It will take great imagination about what is desirable, feasible, and doable if you and your colleagues are ever to solve the complex issues presenting at work, home, and in your community. But most of all, it will take a facility that most of the folks around you no longer possess. It will take an endless supply of independent thought.
