The document discusses how computing resources like pixels have become very cheap, advocating for wasting and spending pixels freely instead of focusing only on efficiency. It argues that most of life is "boring" but important activities happen in boring contexts. It suggests ways to embrace wasting pixels beautifully and spending time well by focusing on normal everyday things, letting attention go if you love it, and doing nothing beautifully through new forms of "graffiti" and play.
