Why there is actually only one Problem with Escapism
The solution is right in front of your eyes.
Your wording implies that you have an internalized aversion against doing nothing, and this is exactly the problem.
Finally, to my big point about enabling the Peter Pan people
The reason why the Puer Aeternus (aka "degenerate gamer" type) engages in self-destructive, escapist behavior, is because they're passion oriented and so squashed and discouraged by the societal expectation of them engaging with their kryptonite (consistency, hard-work, discipline, attention, deadlines, responsibilities, chores, etc.) every day, that existence itself becomes unbearable.
Escape and distraction from an unbearable state are only understandable reactions. So what exactly is the core problem with such behavior? That it is bad for health and balance? That it doesn't lead to you making money? That it is "pathetic"?
No. The objects of distraction are not inherently problematic. The only thing that is problematic about escapism, is that it blocks your crucial ability to do nothing and be bored.
The reason, why boredom is important, is because it allows your default mode network (DMN) to activate. I'm not an expert, but if I understand this brain system correctly, the purpose of the DMN, is to enable you to mind wander and through that process
reflect on your choices, search for meaning, calibrate your activities with respect to your personal values. So when passion oriented people are empowered and enabled to uncage themselves from the toxic societal expectations applied to them and at the same time encouraged to just chill every once in a while, they will automatically orient themselves towards their authentic selves and successfully learn to positively disintegrate from society.

Shit goes absolutely haaaaaaaaaard! Thanks for sharing!
I'm not quite sure what you want to say with this, but I think the opposite is true. 
If you see love, truth and infinity and all of this bogus as the most fundamental aspects of god, you live in delusion. Even worse than that, the reason you do this is to flatter yourself and to cope with your own self-hatred, stemming from your ostracization from society for being neurodivergent. 
The rationale is this: If god is good, and I'm god, then that means I'm good enough! What you don't realize is that that has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with cope and delusion.
Every teaching that has some connection to the left-hand path (satanism, occultism, aghori, etc.) points to this truth, which is why these kinds of teachings are completely underrepresented in this overly idealistic, chronically spiritually bypassing, anti-materialist and therefore deeply counter-revolutionary community.
I'm planning to write more about this topic in the future, bc I think it is absolutely fundamental.
Edit: It is important to note that the song might have put me in a sort of adversarial mood which has led to chose this strong writing style. But seriously. Shit goes absolutely bonkers.

Edit: I am using the label ND too broadly here. What I mean more specifically is passion oriented people/ADHD/executive dysfunction. Thanks @Human Mint for pointing that out.
You are correct that talking about "hard work" is crucial in an ND discussion. Thanks for reminding me.
The sentence above is exactly wrong. 
The reason why you think this is because you still live too deep in NT Land.
The concept "Hard work" mean completely different things for an ND and for an NT.
Comparing the "hard work" ability of an NT person with those of an ND person is like comparing the boxing ability of Mike Tyson with those of some nerd with no arms. This nerd could be Albert fucking Einstein, and he would still have low self-esteem their whole lives if they were to compare their boxing abilities to Mike Tysons.
Coping "tricks" like gamification and all this shit is like saying to Einstein: "You can beat Mike Tyson if you believe in yourself! You just have to use your forehead!". You are banging your head against a wall when you do this.
Being productive for an NT person always takes them roughly the same amount of energy and willpower no matter what they do (I know this sounds completely unbelievable). This means they are literal Mike Tysons at doing boring shit. This is, again, also why they are usually not productive during leisure time (aka no hobbies). In addition, it's why they think that people have to work to be happy bc they wouldn't know what to do with all that time.
Nothing I've done the last view days felt like hard work. No NT could ever communicate this much information without it feeling like hard work. This is one of the superpowers of NDs. When an ND is motivated to do something, it costs them discipline NOT to pursue that thing (I'm failing miserably at not doing this btw). The downside is that having to do boring shit feels excruciating.
This is why you need to avoid doing boring shit like the literal plague, which you already do, but I'm enabling you and I am telling you not to feel bad about sucking at discipline. You need to question why "hard work" is so valued in society. No, it is like boxing. No one here gives a shit if someone is good at boxing so why is this not the same with hard work.
To circle back to your point: If they had a butler who would feed them, do all their chores, do all the paperwork, etc. an ND would absolutely be able to create the most marvelous creations of genius and creativity you have ever seen without EVER working hard.
But this is unrealistic, of course. You will have to be disciplined some of the time. JUST STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO MIKE TYSON!
