If he walked the talk, he'd give up all his worldly wealth and move to India or Afghanistan or Somalia, where he really could spend his days trying to make pottery and hoping to trade it for chickens. But he would have to watch out for the religious police, because marginally productive societies don't have much slack to tolerate thought deviants who want to do something different from what has worked for them for the past five thousand years.
IDK, maybe this didn't occur to him, but he should ask himself why so many people in the world would trade places with him in a heartbeat. But he won't do the same with them.
