Sorry, but that's affirming the consequent. Having several hobbies that improve your thinking while being fun, doesn't imply that every of your hobbies being fun also should improve your thinking. ht...

i only engage in fun hobbies that improvement my thinking.

That's something very peculiar, I'd say. I love doing things just for fun, and many of them don't improve my thinking in any way. 🫂

Of course I have my own opinion, I'm asking about yours. You said " if your hobbies do not improve the quality of your thinking, then they are a theft of your time". I'm asking if you don't like to do...
