it is a waste of time to live without pleasantly wasting some time.
Einstein called chess a waste of time, what do you think?
Sort:

totally true
Some games are a waste of time. Daily games where my opponent loses on time or loses by blundering a piece.

Nono, just someone who sees things for what they are.
I just came across this conversation, and found it most enlightening. Especially the chap who said chess forums are a waste of time. Brilliant observation good sir, quite brilliant indeed.
My dear sir, can you not see that I am a gentleman of high birth? How dare you sir.
You ... you ... ah! I have not the words to express the rage, you low-class buffoon!
It's indeed a big big waste of time.
I have wasted around 30-50 000 hours only sparring with Stockfish.
All I got in return is this book on beating the top engines, which btw. you can still donwload for free as part of a promotion: 2 days more to go from the free promotion, don't forget to download: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Versus-Machine-Stockfish-Komodo-ebook/dp/B0768G8R2C/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Waste a bit more of your time.

Personally, I think that Copenhagen is a description and not an interpretation so he may have been relatively ok.
Perhaps in another universe ...
Oh, I don't believe in other universes. Either they are part of THE universe or else it's impossible to get evidence for them.
Einstein's studies is already proving to be a waste a time. But then someone hasta be the guinea pig.
Virtually all sports or forms of competition are intrinsically useless. Take tennis - hitting a ball over a net repeatedly until one of you fails. Boxing - thumping the other guy in the face until he falls. Motor racing - driving around in circles.
It is intrinsically useless but it is great fun and THAT is the reason people do it.
No I disagree. Tennis helps improve fitness and overall health while building hand-eye coordination a necessary life skill. Tennis is not useless in any sense of the word
