According to peter berger and thomas luckmann, society is based on

I believe the answer is: habitual actions

These habitual actions would later on developed into what considered to be 'norms', it creates a set of expectation on what expected to be done by each members of society. (for example, society that normalize extreme hard work such as japan would see getting burn up at work as something usual)

glass wants to live in a world of super heroes and villains. he have lived all his life trying to be responsible for the creating the origin story of a super hero; he schemed and caused many incidents (many of them fatal) hoping that someday someone with superpowers would show up and save the day.

he knew himself very much. he saw himself as a villain of a real-life super hero story. he was aware of his strengths (more than smart enough for being manipulative and scheming) and weaknesses (having fragile bones and having to rely on his mind to succeed).

it all depends on how long the hours are. i think they wouldn't approve of it. in my opinion.
