Perfect. I've spent the last few years of my life sampeling some different flavors of life. It's been astounding how differently certain people have treated me based on my lifestyle/occupation. I have nothing against the persuit of money, because it can be used to do some pretty positive things (wikipedia Elon Musk & Tesla Motors). But, I agree that 'progress' isn't economic. Progress is a fantasy that's being built into reality by one or more people. “The real world is whatever you choose it to be…” Perfect.

Bravo! I am often annoyed and perplexed at people who insist that the pursuit of money is the only thing that matters and view any other activities which take away from this "productivity" as escapist and immature. The real world is whatever you choose it to be, polar icecap or conference room, you choose. Be happy with your choices, change them if you are not, live simply, laugh hard, love lots.
