Reacting to this article about how the market for literature is unfair:

Participation in literature or for that matter, most humanities has always been a luxury because relatively few people are willing to pay for what these disciplines produce. In my opinion, it is damaging to one’s perception of the world to live a life exempt from participation in the market of voluntary exchange. The pressure keeps us honest.

Advice:

Consider yourself lucky to be free from the toils of the past. Cherish the opportunities you have. Experience the world by participating in the market of voluntary exchange — welcome the challenge.
