> No one wants to work at the DMV, no one dreamed that in their child hood. But we need people to do it... he's speaking out against them going home and sucking down film, tv, tiktok rather than DOING things that enrich their minds and bodies.

That same DMV work + household chores + family would not give time and energy enough for someone to participate actively in whatever kind of activity by the end of the day. I agree mostly that doing things is better than just consuming, but unfortunately the bigger part of the population just aren't able to do it.

Does no one read any more?

This is the very nonsense his essay rages against.

You leave work and:

Buy yogurt on the way home, make sure your kid does piano practice and watch soccer on TV.

-- OR --

You buy milk on the way home, make yogurt with your kid, play soccer in the back yard and then amuse yourself by playing music in the evening.

Same time investment, less money spent better engagement and an enriched life.
