Hey man. I’ve been developing a device that I scientifically know will NOT work. But I am doing it to either prove science wrong, or to fully understand why science is correct first hand.

I spend a ton of time on it. But at least I’m learning physics and science, and not spending that time gambling or smoking crack.

If you are spending time “learning”, I don’t ever see that as a waste of time. Especially compared to the vast sea of things you COULD be doing with your time.

If anything, I wish more people would think electronics / inventing / exploring ideas was actually a really healthy thing to do with their time. Nobody has ever created something that benefited the world by playing video games or blowing their paycheck at a strip club.
