Haha, good quotation. I take ‘efficiently wasting time’ to mean ‘decreasing the ratio of perceived time to actual time’. Cryopreserving oneself is probably the best method. Doing some drug that messed with your perspective of time in the right way would be an efficient waste of time, but far less so than just entering a coma. If one does not have the necessary drugs or willpower to attain them then I would suggest doing fun things that require little sustained effort like an endless string of pirated computer role playing games punctuated by sleep, hot pockets, a multivitamin, and water. Actually I wouldn’t recommend any of those, but for the sake of this thought experiment they seem to be decent suggestions.
