I can't tell if this is satire. If it is, bravo, well done.

  On the contrary, I'm deadly sincere. You'd do well to read up on the Roman views on agriculture. It was, perhaps, the most respected occupation. In any case, this constant goading of science, the excision of religion, the exorcising of divinity of the soul and the blatant machinations which analytical minds use to crush the working class into their finely cut time pieces are abominable. All for the sake of... What? There's nobody in this world that could convince me there is a meaningful direction which all of this unremittant locomotion trends; other than ruin that is. And that's despite a deep desire to find precisely that. We're sacrificing humanity for the vain and meagre rewards of the flesh and conditioned from birth to tow the line. This man seems to have entirely insulated himself from that, he renders his services seemingly for the sake of it. Lives, very apparently, with great modesty. He does this despite the social pressures to do otherwise, it is quite probable that he sacrificed romance to avoid the capricious intermingling of someone else, since few are contented without effecting their next step on the hedonic treadmill, their sisyphian burden. I respect and admire the man.

  Haha, that's the impression I got as well. Alas, I think he/she is serious.
