It is not minimalism if it is not a choice. It is like saying couples with no access to birth control automatically love children. No, this children are likely just accidents that people endure.

#4Traveling often has forced me to adopt this approach. I do not miss the days where I owned much more. Slimming down your possessions to a couple of suitcases worth is liberating, to say the least. Incidentally, I also live in Japan, but most apartments I have visited here are very cluttered.

I've never met a person that regretted a single one of their children no matter how many they had or how poor they were.
If I ever do meet such a person I will gleefully judge them as a bad person.

What a luxury position to take. So you really can't be a minimalist unless you're wealthy enough to own a whole bunch of stuff but don't. Poor poor people, they can't even be minimalists.

That's like saying that couples without access to birth control can't love their children because they can't make a conscious choice. But guess what, most of them do love children. In fact, most people love children, it's rare to find someone that does not.

No, these children are for the most part desired, and their parents love them, just like those parents that had access to birth control.

I find your lack of underwear disturbing.

#9It is possible to legally own a lot of stuff but still be cool if you lose most of it.

Minimalism sounds admiral, but how do you stop it limiting your life?
For example someone invites you on a hike but you can't fit decent hiking boots in your two suitcases. Or someone invites you to a semi-formal dinner but you can't fit a proper evening jacket in there.
You can't even hire boots as they need to broken in.
