The house got gutted today. We were helpful over the years and toward the end and her family recognized that so the family offered us last picking. I also took a small tv and some shovels. A lot of people these days are simultaneously anti-horder and pro-consumer. So they want to take nothing from the prior generation. The new philosophy when someone passes is toss everything. Don't even look at it. I think differently. I think there are at least a handful of virtues in doing the opposite. I think practical goods are practical goods and shouldn't be thrown out. Some of you may also know that I am a work and spend minimalist due to my objections to our monetary system. If it means I can avoid buying something in the future even if I have the money to buy it then that much less spend is to me its own good. Third I think it is good to have items in your practical every day use from which you can remember people.. even beyond just your own family. I even think it is better to be something you use then something thrown in a book somewhere to confuse the next generation when you die and they clean out your stuff. For example that tv that I may turn into my computer monitor, I'll use it every day and can just remember that she existed, that she had a life. I don't have the same memories of her that a family member would have but I think that is at least something.

Throw out useless stuff. Don't throw out useful stuff. Don't we want a world with an in-scarcity of useful things. A lot of these things if built right can last multiple lifetimes. Then these items have stories too.
