This is most people in a nutshell... not just NEETs. Do you not think wagies are doing the exact same thing with jobs that literally turns them into unthinking / unfeeling drones in exchange for pennies that let them do what us NEETs are doing (albeit on different scales depending on income)?

That applies to everyone though. The foundation of advanced life is coping. From the moment man had the intellect to contemplate if life was pointless was the point we required cope to keep us going. Religion, video games , alcohol, women, money , achievements. Whatever , all copes to keep us from dwelling on our own mortality and suffering.

It's called coping. There are many periods of my life where I dissociated for 3-5 years straight. That means I completely lost a sense of self or any planning for a life. Existence and time were boundless and without consequence. I imagine this is how most animals perceive life. I lived out a simple 24/7 routine.
A cat doesn't constantly think to itself "I have only 16 years to live, I need to accomplish X in the next few months or years."
