Made me think of something that I havent in years. Kant's 'purposeful purposelessness' - a definition of the aesthetic purpose.

Buying 20 sets of cutlery is most definately hyperbole (or no tit doesnt matter) - I think mapgrep is mistaken to link this idea to Steve Jobs and the couch... It is one thing to be an audiophile to have the best stereo; it is another altogether if you love sound.

I like the idea from the article. Made me think of the process of selectign a 'go bag' but not for emergencies, for eternity.

I am glad such madness exists and I am not insulted by it. I am no there but I get the impulse.
