The consequences are that the level of consumption of the average pleb is very high and this is considered normal if not essential to a proper life to the degree that wages and welfare rates are estimated for 'moderate consumerism' rather than sustenance, which leads to frugal folks like myself who consume less to living like absolute kings with their every need easily met and plenty of spare money to boot.

So in a way it leads to the possibility of a carefree bohemian life for those not being consumerist in a consumerist society. The general greed creates a nifty niche for literary living.

We live in the best of times.

comfy is not a meme, it's a way of life

Yes, it's cultivating a leisurely bohemian lifestyle. The specifics can differ, but you musn't hold a job or have many obligations and literature must play some role in your life.

>It's been too ingrained into my mind since my years as a child. It's just how the system is-- you can't beat it.
Plenty of people do.

>Besides, what else would I do with my life?
Not entrenching yourself irreversibly in a lifetime of dreary dedication to the status quo you claim to hate, of course.

Live the literary life.

The literary life is an idle, bohemian life. It's the good life for some.
