--- And might I ask what subject your PHD is in Rofl.
Sorry But Einstein Was WRONG !
No not with his ideas about the Universe lol. However there is the quote where he claims that Chess is a waste of time. So that brings up an interesting question: are all games and/or hobbies a waste of time ?
He never really said that chess was a waste of time, from what I know. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
He just disliked the competitive aspect of the game, and didn't see it as a thing to be so serious about (In the meaning of wasting your life studying it).
Anyway, my opinion is that chess can (and probably will) generate a positive income to one's life and everyone should give it a try. However, being obsessed with it is too much.
there's also a saying that time you spent being happy is not a time wasted. so that
--- Very good point !
If we wanted to have a discussion of whether posting in this thread is a waste of time, should it occur here or should a new thread be started for it?

Hard to say.
As with anything. If you allow something to become an obsession, where it interferes with the everyday essentials of life, then yes.
