Y’know while they didn’t fully address the implications of this line in the episode, this is actually a really good point
What exactly is wasted time?
Is it time spent not working? No, because time spent with friends and time spent on hobbies is just as if not arguably more important. Is it time spent doing nothing? No, because that time is spent either recovering from burnout, recovering in general, or preparing for/anticipating something. Is it time spent taking naps? No, because time spent napping is either meant for recovering lost energy or doing nothing. Is it time you spent coming up with ideas that didn’t work out? No, because that time was still used to form those ideas and bring you to the conclusion that they were wrong. Even phrases specifically meant to refer to “wasted time” are really referring to using it for something else
If time is always moving, and we’re always using it for something in some capacity or from some other point of view, can it really be possible to waste our time?
