In theory this book is anti-minimalism / an argument for maximalism, but how can you be a maximalist with disdain for so much? Some of the arguments are either in bad faith, or lazy.

I kind of didn’t gel with her arguments and felt like the tone was a bit pretentious (like be a minimalist or a maximalist, I don’t care and don’t think it’s that serious). I thought the ideas were interesting, but I didn’t feel very motivated to pick it up after reading the first essay.
