That's an interesting point. But what exactly isn't consumption? If, lets say, I'm trapped in my house because there's some sort of plague and also riots going on outside, and I am left to my own devices, what things aren't consumption? Posting on 4chan? Social media? Watching you tube, television, movies? Reading books? Working outside of 9-5 on projects? Cooking? Working out? Should I be writing something just for others to consume? Does this post count as consumption because I read your post or does it count as creation because I am replying to it? Or is your definition of consumption more the Active vs passive consumption duality? If I am destined to be surrounded by things to consume and subsequently consumes my time, are you telling me to be critical of the things I consume and make that arbitrary value judgement of active and engaging consumption as better?

So far in quarantine I've read:

>Ghosts of my life
>Poetics
>Ion
>Theaetetus
>Chapo Guide to Revolution
>The illustrated rules of football
>Welcome to the Desert of the Real

Halfway through Valis and a legal writing book. I've read the first 20 pages of a dozen books, but it's hard to focus if it doesn't catch me.
