Message: [QUOTE="SpcDaicon, post: 351791, member: 134388"] Every time this discussion is brought up I just want to rip every strand of hair out of my head. Although bringing up gaming benefits is a good argument, I think we should be refining the debate: what do we, as a society, understand as "usefull" use of our time? Why do we even care? If we look deeper onto it, what society understand what the "useful use" of our time is, its always linked to work or generation of wealth. Doing X is not work related? It's a waste of time. Doing Y is not making you money? It's useless. I hate how we simply accept that usefulness is, somehow, related to work. It creates an illusory idea that we can only have a meaningful (or "useful") life if we slave away working till we die. I hate it. The very divide between "useful" and "useless" is a insult to life itself. A false dichotomy created by those who exploit your labor to guilt trip us into feeling shame towards the time we use for ourselves and not to make them rich. [/QUOTE]
