“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Yes.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think video games are as good a use of free time as a lot of other things adults do OP. Tons of adults spend a lot of time watching trash TV and movies or reading children's books. Why are video games any worse than that stuff?

Books are great for kids who need to learn things like math, history, elves, and dragons. Obviously some books are better for kid's development than others.

However, I can't imagine, aside from illness or disability, where and adult spending a significant portion of their day reading books would be at all appropriate or healthy.

It's an escape from whatever bullshit you have to deal with every day. Some people like to zone out on a game. That's how they relax. It's healthier than some of the alternatives.
