The ancient Greeks also knew about minimalism. At the Oracle’s temple in Delphi was the inscription “nothing in excess”. It’s the same as minimalism.

The first inscription “know thyself” is an obvious truth.

The third inscription “E” for ”make a pledge and mischief is nigh” is open for interpretation. I think it’s a warning not to meddle in other peoples lifes but to mind one’s own business. A good rule.

All three are fine examples of Aryan wisdom.

From Wikipedia:
“Carved into the entrance of the temple were two phrases, which seem to have played an important part in the later temple ritual: γνῶθι σεαυτὸν (gnōthi seautón = “know thyself”) and μηδὲν ἄγαν (mēdén ágan = “nothing in excess”), and an enigmatic “E”. According to Plutarch’s essay on the meaning of the “E at Delphi”—the only literary source for the inscription, there have been various interpretations of this letter.[33] It has been interpreted as the first letter of ἐγγύα πάρα δ’ἄτα (eggýa pára d’ata) = “make a pledge and mischief is nigh”,[34] In ancient times, the origin of these phrases was attributed to one or more of the Seven Sages of Greece.[35]”
