Get the Paradox mug.The Paradox of Minimalism may be summed up in one sentence:
"If less is more, how little is too much?"
There are NIL Google results for that phrase, a quotation now attributable to Possom Cohen, New Zealand.
Time becomes more valuable as one ages. This is a classic example of the Paradox of Minimalism.
The Paradox of Minimalism is related to the passage of time and to The Holiday Paradox.

Bonnie Raitt addressed the passage of time and the Paradox of Minimalism in her song "Nick Of Time."
Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time
"I see my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you
Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste
Mmm-m-m-m-m-m
Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time"

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”
― Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay

The Paradox of Minimalism is epitomized in the opening sentence of this 2016 New York Times article:
"It has become an ostentatious ritual of consumerist self-sacrifice; people who have it all now seem to prefer having nothing at all."

The Paradox of Minimalism also describes some very rich people giving away most of their material possessions.
“The richer you are, the less you have.”
Another ironic example of the Paradox of Minimalism is the recent KonMari decluttering craze:

Get the The Paradox of Minimalism mug.Baldwin's gun paradox typically occurs when a specific and equal amount of responsibility is distributed to a number of individuals surpassing the sum of 1, usually as a form of repetitive fail-safe (ie verify that a gun is not loaded with real bullets before it is fired at someone or confirming that no one is standing in the industrial oven with a timed locked door before it is turned on), sometimes resulting in each successive person erroneously believing that the person prior to them made the proper verification which they are now themselves certifying without any actual verification from their part as required by their role. Any guilt resulting from a catastrophic failure of the entire verification chain will either be attributed to none of the individuals involved or exclusively to the lowest person on the totem pole.

WE ARE PEDOPHILE FRIENDLY!!!!! ,. sssshhhh!!!!!! (260.109)...(369)....
It brings up an amazing MATHUFRACTURES CONCEPT where it says what THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX says that PLURAL = SINGULAR which grandly implies another stated as due to "CONSENSUS TUMULT POTENTIAL" the "ZERO TOLERANCE" in many instances is operational . In other words , the THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX = THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW DOUBLE PARADOX which says the NULL = ZEROFYER from NULLIFY as ZER0FYER = SINGULAR = PLURAL where NO PEDOPHILES are allowed at certain places as per management decision of the HOTEL ITSELF.
THE more PEDOPHILES the better which is a management hotel/motel THAT SKIRTS , THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW because many hotels/motels ABUSE THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW by not granting any passage.
Note in CYPHER this is a DERIVATION of the WUHAN GRINDR 369. MORE ON THAT LATER ..

Get the THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW DOUBLE PARADOX mug.Does not exist as "WILLIAM HENRY GATES III clearly spent enough time and research with composing this law and wrote into it plainly all aspects given his VAST AWARENESS running the BILL MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION.
If you want to find a reason to break THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW by using the excuse as the PEDOPHILE already entered our property as the THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX says SINGULAR = PLURAL at all times when any EYES COLORED PEDOPHILE walks into your PROPERTY or ESTABLISHMENT and you are "commanded to make THE ONE feel comfortable but "THE PEDOPHILE " had to follow what they are required to do while there and it is not epic splendor .

Get the THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX mug.When you try to make a joke definition of an Urban dictionary link, but it says can't contain links in the definition, so you remove the link and submit it, thinking the problem is resolved and your funny joke is through. But then it says definition must have word in it, but the word is the source of the other problem.
Human: I can't wait to joke about urbandictionary's blog page!

Website: There was 1 error that prohibited this form from being submitted (Links)
Human: Ok then, I will remove the link.
