False dichotomy.

I was blown away by Breaking Bad and can't wait for the next episode. I really enjoy it and it can be inspiring. But I don't kid myself into believing that I'm doing something productive.



What is productive? I remember someone here being really pleased with themselves because they'd cut down on the time they "wasted" gossiping, and learned Chinese instead. But they never said anything about actually using the Chinese.

I enjoy making things too, but I don't kid myself into believing that I'm doing something "better" than watching TV.
