I'll take Las a step further and also make an argument for living for the sake of distinction, not further perception.
As for what Las said, I'd say life is made up of (and this is highly simplified but also true) things that you either: a) like, or b) don't like. Do (a) a lot and fuck (b). It's that simple. Do what makes you happy.
As for creating and furthering perception as a life philosophy you will always be unhappy; there is no truth in opinion. Truth is independent of you. You can't trust even your own bias because humans adapt quickly, and what we "want" day to day changes day to day. There is no stability in a truthless existence. So trust Distinction. If you can feel it, see it, smell it, taste it, or hear it, it's likely to exist. And you're likely to make a solid decision regarding a matter that won't change (at least dramatically). Anything else I am aware of, participate in, but do not invest in (or rather, I am constantly aware that it is likely to change).
So, unless i've got it wrong, he is treating what I've defined as "perception" as truth, and using the knowledge that it is ever changing as a reason not to live.
I hope that made sense; I'm off my game today.
But yeah; like it, do it.
