    Imagine spending 12k hours on something productive, like learning a language or a new skill etc.

    1000-2000h (depending on language) is enough to become communicative in that language, theoretically you could speak 3 to 10 languages by now if you spent this time learning instead of staring at a mediocre game’s screen.

    Or even get a real PhD. On average it takes 10k hours.

    Entertainment is not 🚫 a thing you want to master. Watching 1000 movies gets you nowhere. Reading 1000 self care and business books will get you higher than binging TV.

      I speak 7 languages and have an MfA in Design and Technology from Parsons. I also know several programming languages.

      go judge someone else.

        You think that’s enough? Are you retired from using your brain?

        Close Lemmy and go walk outside, come back home and smash your head on the brick wall. Maybe it’ll get some of your IQ back.

          you should probably take your own advice rather than getting so twisted up about how random strangers live their lives.

              wow, I feel sorry for you that my talking about my gaming habits triggered this level of insecurity in you. I suggest you talk to someone about that.

              I hope you feel better.

        Be as productive as you want. However laying in bed for 12k hours straight would be a massive waste of time, at least for me.
