What it does show quite nicely is how animalistic and irrational humans actually are. They place all their value in a kind of social acceptance which is ultimately and rationally utterly meaningless.

So you wish to exchange one animalistic, irrational, utterly meaningless sense of being for another and then proclaim the second to be superior? What did you do today that was so great? Feed the poor, donate to charity, write a book? What?
It's not about "social acceptance". I don't where you get that from. I earn so I can do whatever I wish. If I wish to take a year off from work, so be it. If I wish to read and study for a year without having to work, I can. It's called "luxury class" for a reason, you know.
