Praxis ❯ Digital Asceticism
Digital asceticism is the antidote to doomscrolling and a gateway to human flourishing. By renouncing dopamine-sucking electronics we can achieve a higher state of being. Digital asceticism is not a rejection of technology, but it is about minimising digital clutter, and algorithmic noise to reclaim focus, agency, and clarity.
Praxis ❯ documents the systems, workflows, and philosophy behind this minimalist approach. Through the lens of plain text computing, and malleable environments like Linux and Emacs, it explores how we can build a sovereign digital workspace for genuine human flourishing.
