To me the joy of not doing anything productive means just sitting/laying on the couch consuming content in one form or another. I'm sure it can also mean just sitting and enjoying a coffee, which is fine but I don't find that necessarily enjoyable by itself.

Making art, music, painting, are all creative and productive endevours, so when you're saying to be okay not being productive to me it means to be okay being a couch vegetable. We need the occasional rest but I don't want generative ML to do all the creative and rewarding things.

Consuming content is really just another capitalist activity, you’re producing views, impressions, you’re trading away attention in exchange for some entertainment.

Instead, go outside and consume nature. Consume a sunset, not a TV show.
