It seems the trend now is towards ‘zero’ — zero waste. Thinking about Peter Thiel’s<\/a> “Zero to One” book as well on entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I thought about the notion of Zero– how beautiful it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Zero?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zero followers. Zero cares. Zero worries. Perhaps the more we can make ourselves ‘zero’ and to start from scratch (carte blanche ideals<\/a>), then we can allow the new and the “1” to enter our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero as an aesthetic thing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found that ‘zero emissions’ or ‘zero waste’ to be mostly an aesthetic thing. For example, I recently bought a 12-pack aluminum cans of Cold Brew Coffee at Costco (Kirkland for life) and every time I finish a can, I look at the aluminum can and think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow this is so wasteful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And it is not even an ‘environmental’ thing — to be frank, I am not too worried about the environment (I think it will be fine). I have discovered that zero is mostly an aesthetic, not an environmental thing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, why Tesla and electric cars are so pleasing– zero as fashionable<\/strong>. Zero as a concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take it back to zero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PURGE<\/a> to zero, then re-fill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my joy of getting rid of all my devices, then truly re-assessing whether I truly need them or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
