I don't want to get involved in pointless back-and-forths but I think our disagreement comes from how we see OP.

I think you're reading his original post and seeing a person who wants to go against the typical path that's laid out in front of him, have a unique lifestyle and the freedom to choose his own work.

When I read it, I'm seeing a spoiled child, who doesn't want to grow up or do anything difficult but lock himself alone in a room for the rest of his life. And he's hiding all of this behind aspirations for more freedom.
