Good atoms are as few atoms as possible

Add an atom to the pack and you’re increasing its weight. This is obvious and the essential tension. You want to add all of the atoms, give it all of the pockets, all padding everywhere, make it a cloud that hangs out on your body. You want to take all of the atoms away, make it less of a burden, easier to find stuff. There is a vast gradient. Where you sit upon that gradient is an opinion, one you may only loosely hold.
