What is your favorite thing to do that you acknowledge is a complete waste of time?

53. 90% of everything humans do is crap.

It's an elaboration upon Sturgeon's Law. Nearly all jobs are crap. Our "consumer society" blows chunks. What we call "economic productivity" is a direct measure of the damage we do to the earth's natural environment and our human spirit.

The world would be a much better place if people spent more time taking care of children and frail old people, telling stories, listening to stories, reading and writing books, teaching what we know, learning what we don't, tending organic gardens, having good safe consensual sex (but not too many children!) or simply walking about, maybe hand in hand talking and enjoying this fine earth.

The things that tend to be called "a waste of time" are usually much less wasteful than the destructive activities we call "work."
