    I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.

    Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.

      I get where you’re coming from, especially when it’s something like OP’s post where it’s just a bed and some junk. But there’s a difference between spartan and efficient. A spartan setup doesn’t provide much functionality beyond the basics (sleep, clothing). An efficient setup might take reworking, but it squeezes a multitude of uses into a small to medium sized room.
