You may well be discussing morals and/or religious beliefs, but you are not discussing economics. What a person or a society might do with their free time (their freedom) is not a morality. Whether they lie in the sun and look at the women go by or spend the time education themselves and creating things of value to the society is not at issue except for the fact that their PRODUCTIVE efforts in NEW things will increase the freedom of others both now and in the future. Throwing fundamentalism and magical crapola at it is counterproductive to the actual science of economics.
