 People spend much time pursuing projects and activities they enjoy or consider worthwhile. Some do only when time, work, or family time permit, and some do much of the time (they are, say, independently wealthy). Writing, pursuing Hollywood or Bollywood stardom, playing chess, swimming, traveling, and, of course, building a family are examples. Other than philosophical far-fetched examples of worthless pursuits (counting blades of grass, collecting bottle caps), most projects and activities have some worth, unless we wish to condemn most human beings of having worthless lives. Perhaps some projects are more worthwhile than others (though how to argue for this is not easy), but almost all have some worth, and an intellectual one at that, including watching reality television or reading junk fiction (Carroll 1998: esp. ch. 1 and 2).
