I think the quote makes a good point. TV has been described as “the opiate of the masses”.
The “smarter, richer” people I know generally don’t watch much TV but prefer to pick and choose what occupies their spare time. Some of those activities would probably be described as “work” even if it’s a labor of love for them.
Watching Judge Judy won’t make you a high powered lawyer anymore than watching the Kardashians is going to make you rich spoiled brat.
