Wow. What a great hypothesis. Actually, the C74 lifestyle is as follows:

Single grape varietals only. Vinum Cellars shreds and rules.
Buy Haruki Murakami in hardback.
The only acceptable Glenn Gould recordings are the ones he hums loudly on.
Fresh morels at least once every year. Preferably in a Bourbon creme sauce with tarragon.
Official C74 lifestyle poets: Ashbery, Montale, Szymborska, Faverey.
Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Chinese Epic: Monkey (Wu Chang-en)
Architects: Ando, Koolhaas, Alexander
Shake and Fries: In-n-Out (CA residents only)
Dark Chinos, 100% cotton Tees, no pocket.
Latte. Whole Milk (preferably at Brainwash)
Favorite Japanese Department Store: Seibu
Indonesian Restaurant: Tempo Doeloe, Amsterdam
Fave Periodical: the Baffler
Most Amusing Hypothesizing Frisian o' the Week: J. Tolsma

hope this helps,
