Flip that around. Just because you like to waste time and even feel like you need to waste time, doesn’t objectively mean you’re not wasting time.
Even if people objectively need to waste time, it doesn’t matter how they waste it. The average time-waster such as gaming barely serves any purpose in itself. Someone becoming disillusioned with games isn’t a problem, it’s an opportunity for them to do something better.
When I was responding to you yesterday, I was trying to come up with an example of something we do that would be objectively a waste of time, but it was hard to think of something that almost everyone would agree 1) consumed your time, 2) you would do voluntarily, and 3) provided absolutely no benefit to you or anyone else.
Thankfully you replied and I have a perfect example: this conversation.
