Even funnier: If this wasn't a dumb fallacy and we grant them that it's zero sum. Just how many man-hours will be wasted by people reading this NYT article as opposed to say curing cancer, or actually reviving mammoths?
- M_Grey 10y agoThere's no point being upset by this kind of idiocy.... its endemic to humanity as a whole. It is frankly, the tip of a giant iceberg which is in the process of sinking us. “The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker." (Einstein, 1945)

That's irrelevant, not only because the majority of those readers are not the same people that would be curing cancer or reviving mammoths, but also because the resources it talks about are more about budgets, organizational priorities, etc, and not about missed hours.
