VIA NEGATIVA AESTHETICS

Less is more beautiful:

Via negativa aesthetics this means:

Beauty is achieved by chiseling away the superfluous rather than “adding”.

For example for a superior bodily physique, better to subtract fat than add muscle. Or to make the design of a car or something more beautiful, figure out which superfluous details to remove (for example the flush front bumper of a Tesla Model S or Model 3, or the flush handles of the Tesla cars).

Or for health, rather than figuring out what to eat, best to figure out what *NOT* to eat (starch, sugar, carbs, alcohol, etc).

With health, happiness and well-being, better to REMOVE negative or toxic people from your life than to “add” good friends. Or for better living, better to SUBTRACT street noise (don’t live near a busy street), or to SUBTRACT superfluous bedrooms or floors or stairs.

To be more productive, better to subtract distractions then to to “add” productive techniques.
