Those activities are fine and well. I never stated anything against those things. My point, that you missed, is that an overindulgence in modern media entertainment will lead people down a spiral of short-term pleasure seeking that can compromise their long-term creative potential.
I didn’t miss that point, just don’t agree with it. The two outcomes are not mutually exclusive and the availability of entertainment isn’t a good reason to claim people cannot (will not?) be productive if their survival no longer depends on that productivity.
In short, I think people adapt and figure out their priorities. If someone wants a life of binging Netflix, who am I to say that’s a wasted life? (So long as that person doesn’t make me live such a life.)
