Right, so someone that kept doing that would choose different records and have a great interest in all classical music.

I was just saying that people seem to pretend there is a "real self" that we all have that is independent of what we do with our time, but we choose mostly dumb things to do with our time.

This is especially a problem because people have terribly boring jobs, but if someone has a terribly boring job doing nothing over and over and then comes home and does more dozens of hours of nothing over over it seems regrettable.
