Lust wrenches our lives until nothing matters except the one we think we love, and under that deceptive spell we kill for them, give all for them, and then, when we have what we have wanted, we discover that it is all an illusion and nothing is there. Lust is a voyage to nowhere, to an empty land, but some men just love such voyages and never care about the destination. —Bernard Cornwell Shopping has this effect on me, the voyage is more satisfying than the destination. There is such thing as post-purchase clarity: the moment when you buy something trendy and you suddenly sober up to how much you don’t care about it (let alone like it); you just want to be seen having it. Who is No-Face? Spirited Away is most known for the character with the least lines: a masked ghost who can conjure gold. He has no backstory, we only know that he is banned from entering the bathhouse. Chihiro, out of kindness, lets him in. No-Face is refused service at first, but the staff quickly compromise their values upon seeing his gold. They serenade him, “Welcome the rich man. He’s hard for you to miss. His butt keeps getting bigger, so there’s plenty to kiss!” while they fight for the gold nuggets that plop out of his fat hands. Then, he devours the workers in despair when he realizes their kindness is bought, and only Chihiro is genuine. [image] The painful part of loneliness is the realization that most people are ass-kissers and friendship is rare. Likewise, people feel the most alienated when they suddenly sober up to the fact that most of their desires are herd-driven, that most of them are no where close to the truth, if they even have a clear enough sense of what that is that matters to them. It’s like waking up from a trance state and realizing, What have I done to myself? I certainly felt this way standing in front of my garbage bags. Loneliness, alienation, addictions and self-defeating loops—these are not material problems, but ‘desire’ problems. I’m finally coming to understand what Girard meant by, “All desire is a desire for being.” We think we want things, but every desire points to a way of life, a kind of person we long to become. Objects seduce us not with their utility but with their promise of transcendence—status, attention, belonging. That’s why No-Face has no face: he is desire itself, the appetite to become, the emptiness that consumes while wishing it were someone else. Money reveals this: In Roman mythology, the temple of Juno Moneta was both sanctuary and mint (it’s where we get the words “money” and “monetary”). To strike a coin was to sanctify it with divine authority, so it circulated as both economic and spiritual power. It still does: money organizes meaning. Fiat currency works because we collectively believe it means something—fiat literally “let it be” in Latin—its meaning assigned by our shared narrative. And because money is tethered to desire, it doesn’t just reflect value; it follows it. It’s the pull of eyes when a sports car glides down a street. It’s Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, saying “when you create desire, profits are a consequence.” Shopping is not independent from the spiritual realm that strips away our names, and it’s a very literal form of kamikakushi. When we feel the weight of our limits, we start reaching toward idols to imitate, goals to chase, places to explore, people to meet. What we’re really chasing is a sense of immortality or infinity, something that lives longer than we ever will. We want to be remembered long after we’ve left a conversation, the company, the world. Desire is never about the object itself. If it were, once you acquired it, the desire would vanish. Yet, your wardrobe keeps getting stuffier while you still find yourself with nothing to wear. Desire is about what the object seems to promise us: a fuller, richer existence. This is why Marie Kondo’s “spark joy” test is great: it reframes consumption as discernment. It asks whether an object raises your spirit or weighs it down. Left unchecked, your possessions take away your freedom to be who you are. As Fight Club says, “The things you own end up owning you.” *** Every now and then, I feel my value system collapsing under the seduction of Alo’s knitwear sets through their windows. Overall, none of this is about “how to spend less”, it’s about the freedom to just be… you.
You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. —Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)
Stronger values make you spend more mindfully because they shift the axis of desire. When you know what you worship—what you actually stand for and who you want to become—everything gets tested against that vision. Values act like a sieve: they filter out the empty cravings that come from comparison and they let through only the things that genuinely serve your spirit. Without values, desires lead you astray by following ads and algorithms and the envy of friends—a state commonly known as “being distracted”. The scariest part of Chihiro watching her parents turn into pigs is that they could’ve simply walked away. The unattended food stalls feel like a test of whether one can resist charming distractions. Like the family in Spirited Away, you’re rarely forced to follow one desire over another (until you choose wrongly, and only later realize what you’ve done, if you realize it at all). But if you aim at your highest value—placing no other gods above it, coveting nothing of your neighbor’s—you free yourself from the distractions that split your soul and can refocus your being on becoming who you want to be."]]> sherryning consumption consumerism overconsumption values 2025 spiritedaway desire money budget materialism mirandapriestly stuff shopping fomo lust bernardcornwell process thejourneyisthedestination experience loneliness being life living capitalism objects junomoneta bernardarnault mariekondo freedom chuckbalahniuk distraction envy algortithms https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:482bcc3fed1e/ Why an abundance of choice is not the same as freedom | Aeon Essays 2025-10-19T20:38:16+00:00 https://aeon.co/essays/why-an-abundance-of-choice-is-not-the-same-as-freedom robertogreco sophiarosenfeld choice 2025 attention progress modernity humanrights justice politicalphilosophy philosophy consumption consumerism options individualism sociology politics capitalism freedom shopping comparison psychology psychiatry economics choicemaking decisionmaking everyday autonomy society bettyfriedan governance democracy donaldtrump covid-19 coronavirus pandemic https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:80c2451505bf/ The simplest, hardest way to "live like a local" 2025-09-30T18:21:34+00:00 https://andrewsamtoy.substack.com/p/ten-ways-to-live-like-a-local-anywhere robertogreco migration life living locals travel 2025 work slow language languages shopping everyday accumulation bureaucracy government corruption sandiego california departure immigration portland chicago losangeles boston nyc clevenad budapest us columbus madrid barcelona london berlin escape grassisgreener christophercolumbus https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:30f6ec82c173/ Best Made Co. – Best Made Company 2025-08-22T20:45:07+00:00 https://www.bestmadeco.com/ robertogreco madeinamerica madeinus gifts shopping clothing accessories apparel notebooks gear utility wonder durability responsibility relevance peterbuchanan-smith handmade craft craftsmanship materials making manufacturing makers sewing waste supplychain repair restoration maintenance workwear appearel https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e1337585e482/ Bay Area grocery habits are changing supermarket store designs 2025-07-27T21:24:23+00:00 https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/grocery-stores-online-shopping-20775964.php robertogrecogroceries grocerystores sanfrancisco rachelswan 2025 elcerrito bigboxstores safeway wholefoods amazon albertsons ecommerce shopping instacart nicholasbloom daverochlin covid-19 coronavirus pandemic stephaniejohnson scottbaker janaobradovic 2020 santiagogallino delivery deliveries traderjoes costoco retail https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1abe9cd2e2e3/ Podcast Insights E17 - The Aesthetic Revolution (Will Be Beautiful) - BEYOND THE DIAL 2025-07-24T23:13:12+00:00 https://www.beyondthedial.com/post/e32-the-aesthetic-revolution-will-be-beautiful/ robertogreco 2020 allenfarmelo watches beauty aesthetics latecapitalism theory economics marxism anarchism environmentalism ianos jasonheaton autodromo journalism shopping consumption consumerism gregorybateson culture indigeneity johnmohawk robertdenton orenlyons barrywhite activism nature sevengenerations conservation waste disposability durability nafta offshoring standardissue timelessness conservatism plannedobsolescence indigenous filson clothing hipsters making makers quality bauhaus craftsmanship craft privilege digitalrevolution green sustainability renewables ethos agenda inequality regionalism decentralization carbonfootprint materials geography ecosystems mikhailbakunin mutualaid cooperatiion karlmarx dictatorship schismogenesis state tradeunions education revolution friedrichengels labor us richardnixon deregulation ideology industry hiddencurriculum hedonism ease pleasure senses ethics vintage science social ecology philosophy politics morality consciousconsumerism mainstream joy religion pleasureprinciple c https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d2ef62acc1fa/ America's Shopping Addiction! - YouTube 2025-04-27T18:29:41+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAdjgEGRIz4 robertogreco patrickboyle 2025 consumerism consumption behavior plannedobsolescence clothing quality disposability 1980s 2020s sears history economics money covid-19 coronavirus pandemic shopping fastfashion zara waste storage homes housing personalstorage inequality society social wealth https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:29597144e0b0/ Roots of Fight 2025-02-10T22:07:55+00:00 https://www.rootsoffight.com/ robertogreco gifts shopping clothing sports athletics sweatshirts apparel https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4d48db01a55d/ Guys, we’ve been exposed.

How much more satisfactory for the ordinary shopper to be reclassified as a collector, with the term's suggestion of professorial expertise and connoisseur's discrimination, and for the useless junk to become collectibles, a word suggesting not unjustifiable extravagance but canny investment. And the compulsive purchaser of books and CDs can do even better. Buying these is not shopping but 'building a library'." Travel is also based on expectation.

This knotty dilemma is the subject of Michael Foley's wry and accessible investigation into how the desirable states of well-being and satisfaction are constantly undermined by modern life. He examines the elusive condition of happiness common to philosophy, spiritual teachings, and contemporary psychology, then shows how these are becoming increasingly difficult to apply in a world of high expectations. The common challenges of earning a living, maintaining a relationship, and aging are becoming battlegrounds of existential angst and self-loathing in a culture that demands conspicuous consumption, high-octane partnerships, and perpetual youth. Ultimately, rather than denouncing and rejecting the age, Foley presents an entertaining strategy of not just accepting but embracing today's world—finding happiness in its absurdity."]] ]]> watches watchcrunch watchcollecting consumption consumerism 2025 hoarding michaelfoley shopping capitalism accumulation https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:7ae578b0c90f/ Lifestyle: 33 Ways To Improve Your Life, Japanese Style | The Journal | MR PORTER 2025-01-12T00:56:46+00:00 https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/journal/lifestyle/life-lessons-people-tokyo-japan-style-food-24538500 robertogreco japan culture 2023 society behavior small slow nature quality rules strangers spontaneity shoes food customs values reliaility bathing cleanliness garbage animism shinto ahintoism clothing possessions care caring maintenance collectivism trash minimalism cities tokyo urban urbanism discipline buddhism monks seasons time cycles life living inspiration respect phones variety rice mindfulness otaku shopping details attention noticing happiness solitude silence https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:3fcccef03490/ My $400 AI shopping haul: how AI is changing the way we shop - YouTube 2024-03-25T20:53:25+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU2QBuLSuHM robertogreco ai generativeai artificialintelligence 2024 miasato shopping ebay etsy finesse retail socialmedia bigdata renderings instagram manufacturetopurchase fashion clothing apparel doordash knitting crafting amazon fastfashion shien teemu aliexpress pebblely textgeneration genai https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ac5fb06c5427/ Hands [Tokyu Hands] 2024-01-21T00:13:57+00:00 https://info.hands.net/en/ robertogreco shopping japan tokyo stores design gifts shibuya shinjuku shinsaibashi ginza tokyuhands https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:6e77c24bd192/ Your Amazon Returns Are Thrown in the TRASH - YouTube 2023-12-23T06:13:20+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdL85EP7s5M robertogreco amazon shopping waste shipping returns adamconover 2023 capitalism zappos chile atacamadesert disposability fashion fastfashion psychology landfills consumption us apparel shoes pandemic lululemon jeffbezos amazonprime childlabor labor exploitation atacama https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:fa9c9fb29333/ The Paris Review - Passionate Kisses: The Soundtrack at CVS - The Paris Review 2023-09-03T03:28:28+00:00 https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2023/08/30/passionate-kisses-the-soundtrack-at-cvs/ robertogreco music cvs shopping algorithms 2023 via:javierarbona mitchrherieau soundtracks musak https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f9b558f7a95d/ The Real Cause of Poverty with Matthew Desmond - Factually! - 215 - YouTube 2023-06-21T20:36:46+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXUbkhl_uuQ robertogreco matthewdesmond poverty us 2023 adamconover waronpoverty history economics inequality sociology society affluence wealth policy housing taxes labor work evictions debt landlords stockmarket corporations dividends ownership land homes segregation investment investments wealthinequality indexfunds capitalism rent renting mortgages exploitation vulnerability security precarity unions shopping solidarity politicalwill children homeless homlessness finance banking losangeles government responsibility individualresponsibility structuralreform anxiety prosperity selfishness neighborliness communities community politics values fear abundance scarcity eviction https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f0bc81b7c84b/ Westfield Walks from Mall in San Francisco, after Walking from 2 Malls in Florida & others.
