When i was watching the video i remembered a talk i had with my brother, he is a business man and he says to me "the people who have more money, need more, but you can't take care of everything". I can see he was right, when you become slave of your stuff, you lose time, you freedom and by the end you can't even enjoy you stuff. I think is not a question of space or time, is a question of meaning.
