To each his own. "stupid" seems like too harsh of a criticism. People have different value systems. I think it's not so good that you think so linearly. I'd argue that one's entire life is a lot of "randomly walking around trying to figure out what you want to do". Also, you are dangerously placing undue importance on obtaining some "idea" to pursue to justify quitting. Most ideas don't work out without substantial pivoting, which basically moots your supposed advantage. I'd also argue that "I want to do something other than work here" is a justifiable enough idea. Lastly, sometimes you gotta put the cart before the horse. / end idiomatic spree!
