The next time you come here, I'll probably still be trying to figure out what this sentence means: "And I'd like to see some evidence from sorts of people who about how great minimalism is that it does."
It's not my finest sentence, to be sure! Worse still, there was a missing word. It should read "[...] from sorts of people who _write_ about how great minimalism [...]".
Got it lol! I live a pretty minimalist life myself; far simpler than the author's. It was forced on me financially due to illness and brain injury, but I must say that I now love living simply and having few things. I define my success in part by being happy with what I don't have. However, I'm not so naive as to think that just because it works for me, that it would work for everyone. Some people love taking advantage of the many things that this life has to offer. Nothing wrong with that.
He thinks that minimalism doesn't work as advertised (to make you more productive, successful, etc), and "he would like to see some evidence from [the] sort of people who [go on] about how great minimalism is, that it does".
Not GP but I believe it was supposed to be "And I'd like to see some evidence from those sorts of people about how great minimalism is at what it does"
