Of course, one could desire to be free of the culture that values a limited array of desires that have lost their luster. Though such a desire runs the danger of never being fulfilled.
I'm not so sure the Buddhist prescription of denying oneself desire is appropriate in this age. Those ideas were formed in another time, though I doubt I fully understand the deeper philosophy. And the philosophy itself seems so malleable that one can shape it to assist one's own purposes in a completely different context. Besides I'm not so sure desire itself is so problematic, only when it is directed at unfulfillable or destructive objectives.
One should be able to decouple one's own desires from one's own person and be able to honestly asses the merits and implications of such desires. Above all one should remain flexible with one's own motivations. Easier said than done certainly. But worth a try.
