>People can't even read a book.
I read difficult literature every single day and actually participate in trying to learn from what I'm reading and to understand the author. However that hasn't changed my opinion that living up to your best potential isn't something you owe to society or the world. If you have only one life to live it's not the wrong choice to make bad decisions. The free will to make bad decisions is the first sin of man and also the defining trait of what makes us human. If I want to spend my time reading, watching anime, and playng videogames instead of using my best cognitive ability to better myself and the world I have every right to do it. If people don't like it they can exile me, or kill me I guess. I'm not giving the world a single ounce of genuine creative energy.
