Well is it only subjectively better to read a math book than a fiction book or is it objectively better? I'd say it's objectively better. Pleasure is never objective so we have to take that out.

>implying its all not just a pyramid

Is not canon books objectively better than young adult fiction(pleasure aside) but is not also a programming book better than a western canon classic?

I sometimes struggle with melancholy at the outset of starting even a classic, as even the pleasure, knowledge and achievement I get from reading this book is nothing compared to spending the same amount of hours studying programming, a foreign language, math or philosophy etc.

This sort of melancholy is elevated further if I am to start a "fun sci-fi novel"(which happens) since this in an objective way is less of a time well spent than a classic.

Is not the ultimate ideal to strive for to have the mental fortitude to forgo objectively the lowest parts of this pyramid, which amount to nothing but pleasure, in order to spend your time the wisest?

Forsaking useless pleasures such as reading YA fiction, sci-fi novels and playing World of Warcraft should be found on the bottom and therefor be the first ones to go. But then again, is not shitposting on 4chan also on the first levels? It's a struggle.
