In Defense Of Stuff

This doesn't contradict the article. It boils down to "I like stuff, because I buy good stuff and ditch the rest."

agreed. What he writes isn't a defense of hoarding, it's a defense of newness, which PG wasn't even attacking.

I think ultimately PG wasn't directly criticizing those who accumulate stuff, either. As I understood it, the issue is the attachment to the stuff, particularly when it inteferes with living a good life.
