The Art of Subtraction
In 2025, adding more is easy. The world encourages accumulation: more content, more connections, more trends, more noise. But true radicalism lies in subtraction — in removing what is unnecessary, draining, or performative.
The art of subtraction is deliberate. It is editing life with intention: unfollowing feeds, discarding habits, refusing obligations, and letting go of ideas that no longer serve. Each removal is not loss; it is liberation.
Subtraction is disruptive because it contradicts cultural expectation. In a society obsessed with constant accumulation and visibility, choosing less is revolutionary. Less attention given to others’ agendas means more focus on your own. Less noise creates clarity. Less performance creates freedom.
In 2025, the shock isn’t in what you add — it’s in what you intentionally remove.
Shocktober Statement: To subtract is to reclaim power, clarity, and autonomy. Less is not nothing; less is everything that matters.
