>You can, of course, genuinely live modestly with minimal consumption. Keyword minimal. You just always consume to an extent.

This is ideal for some people, and/or at certain times, I've done it.

But it's still only half the equation.

I prefer to produce much much rather than consume.

I want to produce so much real tangible value added, that the amount I consume is negligible by comparison.

In my opinion, just by virtue of living in the developed world you're not going to be producing more than you consume. That's how the core works, it siphons from the periphery.
