I submit that hedonism is a purpose unto itself, that all recreational activities hold equal value to our species (~none), differing value to the individual, and that people should simply do whatever they enjoy, right now.
Working towards a potentially better future that may never happen is not necessarily the right thing.

Someone that spends their time programming video games is not helping feed people, but it is helping them become a better programmer. Also, it's well established that humans need rest and recreation to be productive workers.
