When you consider something wasteful it trumps what another person thinks about the same? Are you using some objective criteria for this? I’m sure something you consider a good use of time is considered wasteful by a good number of people.

So my point is: should I consider binge watching Netflix (random example) as wasted time because you consider it a waste or should I keep doing it because I enjoy it? Especially if objectively speaking it doesn’t prevent me from being a useful member of society, perhaps more so than many people who don’t engage in such “wasteful” behavior.

You can probably find a counter example for most rules you can think of. A cherry picked example doesn’t negate the premises.

Years ago some guy was rambling about shadows in a cave. Not quite WoW but still pretty wasteful depending on who you asked.
