    To be honest, the older I get the more I realize the value to being lazy.

    And for the record, the vast majority of people are fucking lazy. All life forms are, they don’t really don’t want to do work. We weren’t put on this earth to work to live.

      Animals spend a lot of time doing nothing. Not sleeping, just sitting around:

      Contrary to the perceptions of nature as a well-oiled machine, we see inactivity in all corners of the animal kingdom. In fact, it seems that many creatures spend the majority of their time inactive, which is defined as time that an individual is awake but not engaging in any specific task or activity. Observations of animals have shown that some creatures spend between 75% (lions) to 85% (hummingbirds) of their time being at rest. That’s a lot of time doing nothing!

      There’s also estimates that hunter-gatherers only work 15-20 hours per week.
