Is he right?
Are video games a waste of time?
Is productivity being squandered through gaming?
Are our greatest minds being wasted on the development of useless toys?

>>724147434 (OP)
You know what else is a waste of time?

>>724147434 (OP)
No, he's not right. He's a stupid person who thinks he knows something.
>Is productivity being squandered through gaming?
What productivity? I tried to get a job at McDonalds and they wouldn't give me one. What should I be doing instead of video games?

>>724147434 (OP)
Yes.

all forms of entertainment are a waste
if you're not working, you're already fucking up

>>724147885
I replied in 8 minutes, and it's been 8 minutes. No response. I really hope you're posting in the shitskin section of the board, OP. That would be the fate you deserve for being a faggot. I need to go set up filters.

What even does "expand the mind"?

What are we supposed to do with our spare time?

>>724147434 (OP)
>productivity
That right there gives the game away.
"Toys" are a waste of time because it doesn't make your slave master money. Your desire to produce surplus value for your employer at maximum efficiency is a mental parasite that's killing you every day.

>>724148152
spoken like a woman who'd burn you alive if it meant she got a high position at a company
business and commerce has stolen our souls
this woman would just as quickly say the same thing about any creative hobby that doesn't produce surplus value for corporations

>vidya are cringe because some twitter literal who said so
i brought my vita and 3ds to school and this never gave any girl an ick
i had to bring both because these fucking bitches always wanted to play pokemon
it's a literal skill issue
if you're a dysgenic fag no amount of le based hobbies will attract a woman
if you're handsome no woman will give a shit if you play bing bing wahoos or idk fucking watch birds as a hobby

One of the NPC Niggers actually said everything but work is a waste of time. The slave shitskins are unreal. It's okay for them to exist, but what are they doing on 4chan? There's obviously so many that they're just everywhere. I wish I could be less productive but it's not possble.

>>724148547
>spoken like a woman who'd burn you alive if it meant she got a high position at a company
Your problem is that you wouldn't. She's enjoying a high paying job while you're seething on 4chinz about society. She won.

>>724147434 (OP)
>waste the time of very intelligent people
this some kind of 17 year olds fuck ass larp? i firmly believe most people are where they roughly should be in life. a truly intelligent person who has much to offer society will never even come across entertainment in the first place.

What? Are you saying intelligent people all live in the woods?

You guys are such fragile bitches

>intelligent person who has much to offer society will never even come across entertainment
You don't know any smart people do you? They play games too. Most of them play chess at least and that's a waste of time unless you're coping about "mental training"

>>724148827
>You don't know any smart people do you? They play games too.

I am blood related to a person who scored the highest at his school. Higher than anyone else, and he played video games. The two digit IQ sub-humans have no idea what they're talking about; It doesn't matter what the topic is. That guy posted in this thread because I have 90% of the board automatically filtered at all times. Believe it or not.

>>724148659
>Your problem is that you wouldn't.
Truly soulless, absolutely insane
>while you're seething on 4chinz about society
I wasn't, I was pointing out the inhumanity of the person in the tweet, you're projecting now.

Do not respond further, I will not continue to argue with someone so innately inhumane, we will not find common ground.

>>724147867
Social media.

Was I bluffing?

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

Take drugs like LSD and expand your mind duuuude.

>>724148751
Thats impossible (I've calculated the odds) because I'm a genius and play video games 12 hours a day.

>>724148992
Is that your attempt at comedy? Reply after I've filtered this thread. You shitskins will scatter afterwards but it won't bring back the shitskin section of the board that you're all dodging. Enjoy each other's company.

>>724148193
whose boss posted this

video games are actually extremely productive because they train your brain to solve problems more efficiently
people think video games are a waste of time because they see somebody gaming all day and not grinding 12 hour shifts at the ball crushing factory
but when a real problem occurs, a problem that society as a whole can unanimously agree must be solved immediately, it will be the gigabrain gamer freaks who've turned their brains into pattern matching machines who will serve as the tip of the spear in terms of devising solutions and enacting plans
but no, people forget what real problems look like
if you're not spending each day of your life slaving away at zogcorp #1039 to make mr moneyberg wealthier and more powerful, people have been brainwashed into thinking you're wasting your life
pathetic and shameful

I'm 31 and I've never had a job in my entire life.

I think climbing a mountain is a waste of time
I think visiting ugly dirty cities is a waste of time. I think cooking is a waste of time. I think football is a waste of time.

Not everything one does has to be about "expanding your mind", or what-have-you.

It's such death anxiety to worry about if you're always achieving this or that forever.

>>724147434 (OP)
Anyone that watches sports is wasting time even worse. Explain to me the value of watching grown men toss a ball around

>>724148992
threads like these are always hilarious because 4chinners are always quick to defend video games and their intelligence like they are in the top 0.1% or something. you faggots gotta understand life to these one in a million people IS the video game.

>>724148565
It feels like listening to a bunch of kids who are insecure about having hobbies or time wasters and cope by acting like they'll outgrow it someday, as if you're no longer allowed to have fun once you need to pay bills and taxes so it makes for an acceptable excuse to indulge a little before all that.

>>724149121
and that's okay because you can afford it, you've survived
at any other point in human history, you would have starved to death for not working
we have excessive amounts of wealth and resources that enable people like yourself to not be slaves to physical productivity and instead expand the domains of their mind
answer me truthfully, despite not having had a job, if unavoidable responsibility was suddenly placed on your shoulders, would you be competent enough to handle it?
if so, then you are fine
you do not need to worry about making corporations more money
just be ready for when shit hits the fan, if it ever does

>>724149048
Being the best at a school is not that impressive anon. Considering you're ranking against people your age only, that's what, better than 100-200 people? Big deal

>Retards on twitter arguing over which activity is more "time wasting"
How ironic

>>724149382
As I said most people are where they should be in life. Jonny Blows not gonna cure cancer because he'd have to credit other people in the team. Besides theres probably a few million just as smart as him.

A lot of work is a total waste of time. I'm not even talking about the low hanging fruit of do nothing office work bureaucracy, I'm talking literal low hanging fruit. An entire container of bananas accidentally rots on the docks because of a clerical error. All the work that went into cultivating, harvesting, and shipping those bananas is wasted. Waste is a part of life.

by the laws of nature you are here just to eat, shit, fuck and sleep.
everything else is an optional sidequest

>>724148751
If op is a 17 year old larp yours is a 13 year old larp. Everyone is where they are because of nepotism and generational wealth. The systems of wealth and power acquisition are not merit or effort based.

Why are industrial fags like this, since the caves men have always "wasted" energy and resources into making art, games, storytelling, you name it

>>724150091
They work hard so retarded thirdies can come to their countries and neet

>>724149891
eh i don't think that anon meant where they financially stand my interpretation was if a "very intelligent" person could be tricked and lured into wasting they probably weren't THAT intelligent in the first place.

Any engineering chads making cool shit for society and just having the best time of their life right now? Look at these malding csgo knife doomers

>>724150039
Exactly.

Everyone should play the Looker. It's free and hilarious.

>>724147434 (OP)
He is right, but then 99% of what people do is a waste of time. Video games aren't unique in that regard.

Anything that isn't working to make G-d's Chosen People richer is a waste of time.

>>724149382
It's funny because Paul Morphy was making the same argument about chess back in the 19th century.
It all boils down to pursuing what makes YOU happy, without giving a shit about what others think.

>>724147434 (OP)
As long as a man produces good energy from his interactions with others and uses whatever strength he may have been blessed with (mental or physical) to ease the burdens of those who lack said traits, he’s doing good, while men should always strive for more video games often allow the brain to understand complex things at a better rate. While they have become commercialized and designed to be far more addictive than they ever were, there’s still many with artistic merits and at the end of the day, art is what allows the world to be as it is.

With no art we would all be culture less zombies and life would be unbearable.

Being productive has given me nothing but stress and frustration. Why would I pursue something that has only continued to make my life worse?

>>724147434 (OP)
Hobbies are inherently a waste of time.
What, do you think the person that READ the lord of the rings instead of watching the movies has some mystical power to get access to more pussy and a better paying job?

>>724148751
Nah, a truly int person just ints, they don't wait for shit. Problem is the ppl at the top who want to USE int person and the int person isn't smart enough to see themselves being used.

Productivity is made up, you either do a good job or you don't.
You want to get more work done ? You hire another employee.

>>724150452
>With no art we would all be culture less zombies and life would be unbearable.

Yes, that's the goal. Humanity must be reduced to mindless cattle that do not live, but merely exist, and they exist only to do three things: work, suffer and die.

so all that talk about writing a compiler book or doing an OS was just a LARP?

>>724150456
>Why would I pursue something that has only continued to make my life worse?

Because you exist to suffer, of course. You exist to be tortured for the amusement of the rich and powerful. The sooner you accept this, this sooner you will be at peace.

Everything is a waste of time, anon. Unless you're smart enough to literally end a foreign war or cure cancer or something, you're just a cog destined to waste away in the machine until the teeth sheer off and you're replaced with a newer cog. Fleeting pleasures are the only things actually worth perusing in life.
