What this meme is really saying is "the main issue with video games is you aren't developing skills that can serve capitalistic interests via monetization of hobbies"
Normally I would agree, but the deeper implication is contributing meaningful additions to collective human knowledge, and I kinda agree from an objectivist standpoint.
Agreed. It's like how Emperor Hirohito did very important work.
Not the war. He spent the later half of his life meticulously collecting baseline data as a (rich and connected) marine biologist. It's not exactly glamorous, but that data is a significant data point on how Climate Change is affecting ocean life. It's a lot more pointed than "I swear there used to be more fireflies".
