Warren, I will accept those terms. "Pipe gatherer" sounds nice.
I don't think we should casually reject the accusation of being hoarders, though. Hoarding, or buying irrationally, is a kind of sickness in our society and most of us probably do it to some extent. It is too easy to buy things on a whim - especially online - and we get seduced by marketing. Our economies are artificially inflated - maybe 30-50% - because of irrational consumerism. With the technology we have to make things more efficient, we should really work far less than we do - produce less, consume less, and focus on what is important in our lives. And we could easily do this if we stopped buying what we don't need or really value.
I sometimes wonder if the Greeks would be smart to implement a 3-day working week and make this the norm, or work full-time but save money and retire at 50 (which is the same thing, eventually). They would have full employment and have plenty of leisure time to enjoy, spend with their families, and smoke pipes. They would have enough money to buy everything they could reasonably need. They would not be able to spend money on buying and accumulating things they oughtn't, and their homes would be nicer and less cluttered. That sounds like a better kind of life than mine.
We should all question ourselves about whether we are buying things we don't really value or need. It is probably self-perpetuating. We are too stressed and work too much, and then we try to make ourselves feel better by buying things, which simply perpetuates the need to work more.
I'll leave a link here to a very thoughtful, short essay about this. The writer makes the same point, that our lives are wrongly balanced and that with technology there is no reason to work more than four hours a day. The thing is, the writer was the philosopher and pipe smoker, Bertrand Russell and he wrote this in 1932! It is even more relevant today.
In Praise of Idleness
I wonder how many pipes Bertrand Russell owned.
