    Hello,

    I search for peoble with a non-consum lifestyle. A lifestyle that avoids consumerism. That includes not only to buy less to nothing, but also to produce less to nothing what can be consumed by others.

    I make art and my intention is to make non-consumable art. That's a two side challenge. It is not completely possible for me to prevent the consumption of my art by others. Even if it is free, it can be consumed. Consumption is a behavior.

    Furthermore, the lifestyle prevent the consumption of media and what other persons do. This includes the speaking and behavior of other people. It includes a mindset in which interpersonal actions are always understood as interactive actions. So it is always reciprocal and never a one-way street. It is not radio or television with a sender and a receiver. It is not a theater with a stage and seats. It is always a direct, interactive, mutual interaction. Other people are never foreign. They are always part of the present moment. They and I are together a part of the present moment. It is a mutual interest. Not a consumer interest. Do you understand what I mean?

    No, can't say that I do. Good luck with your lifestyle, as for me, I don't throw my money away but I'm happy to be a consumer.

    I consume to live.
    Don't need conspicuous consumption.
    Don't need planned obsolescence.
    Don't want more than I need.
    That's hippie.
