Why does entertainment not count? Entertainment is the basis of our entire civilisation. If everyone were content then no-one would be striving to create better movies, cook better food, play sports, create higher definition TVs, increase processor power, communicate and travel across the world.

If we were all happy to sit on our own in silence, eating the same local crop day in, day out, then very little would be developed.
