Wow, how convenient that the thing you like is the single "highest value thing" that anyone can do with energy.
You are in a filter bubble of people patting each other on the back for wasting energy. You've been rewarded for cryptocurrency speculation for so long that you've forgotten what productive work is.

Do you agree with the general principle that when the heuristics you are using, generate erroneous conclusions, it's a good idea to re-evaluate those heuristics?
