Sorry, I should have said "waste of my time", which would still be
an opinion because I cannot think of a repeatable scientific experiment
that could unambiguously confirm such a thing.
The last thing I would advise is that others adopt my opinions and
habits. Society as we know it would collapse. (That opinion is more
verifiable.) However, you are welcome to use my opinions as a guide to
attitudes which should be avoided.

You may be right; I certainly have no recent experience. If so,
that is a good trend.

We often have such conversations based on the books we have recently
read. What ever fits your style is fine. I have no objection as long
as people use and stimulate their intellect - even fiddling with
computer games is OK - to a point.
