I need to become an ascetic.

I've thought that too, sometimes very urgently. But...

No ice cream?????????

Wouldn't that be nice? Then you'd really have the moral high ground. :)

I'm in a debate right now in libertarianism in which a real "high ground" would come in very handy. :)

I wouldn't be doing it for moral reasons, necessarily. I just need to get rid of some of my attachments. And I have a lot of junk. I accumulate and rarely throw out. My room isn't terribly messy, but it isn't very asthetically pleasing.

Also, I think I would benefit from restrictions, particularly schedule restrictions ("I should be reading now; I should be taking my one-hour walk now"). My schedule is really amorphous, and because of that I tend to procrastinate.
