Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment? - eviltoast

I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

    They still have the option to catalogue beetles, that was never off the table. But they chose Sonic because it makes them more happy.

      I was just referring back to the OP post, where I thought it was describing how humans only have so much time in the world, and focus to use - so are modern time-spenders like video games hogging/stealing (thief) that valuable time/focus or not?

      In this instance, did they “choose” Sonic, or did Sonic negate the chance of the same skillset being applied to beetles? Sonic might make them more happy - or maybe they never found out how much beetles would make them happier.
