You and I agree, for our own lives. I derive meaning from my agency.

For some reason, though, there are a shitload of people out there that don't have this ambition. I understand difficulty empathizing with it, because to people like you and me it does look like a "waste of time." But for some reason it really is just ideal for a lot of people to be able to switch their brain off and sit comfortably in front of a TV and be entertained.

For these people, you could argue "you should be doing something better with your time," but all you'd get back is "why? This is comfortable."
