I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

    Agreed. It’s like how Emperor Hirohito did very important work.

    Not the war. He spent the later half of his life meticulously collecting baseline data as a (rich and connected) marine biologist. It’s not exactly glamorous, but that data is a significant data point on how Climate Change is affecting ocean life. It’s a lot more pointed than “I swear there used to be more fireflies”.
