Fair enough. I was not going for “it’s evolutionary, so let’s just do nothing”. The whole argument herr is thay laziness doesn’t exist, because there is a root cause. Well, this is just semantics really. Being lazy is not wanting to do something. Is there a root cause behind it? Sure. If you go far enough it’s just biology (allegedly).

Does tiredness not exist? There is usually a root cause to you being tired.

I feel like this “lazyness doesn’t exists” is there just because being lazy has negative conotations. I think being lazy is good. Sometimes you do need to wind down and save what energy you have. This ofc shouldn’t be an excuse to not do anything ever. There is something as too much of a good thing and all that.

As I said, not an expert on this topic. But I feel like you are combining two different things.

Doing dishes is persumably something you don’t enjoy and your survival is not dependent on it -> you conserve energy.

Boredom, I think, comes from the brain not having enough stimuli.

I see it as two different things. But you are better of asking someone who knows more.

I’m not an expert, just read it somewhere. But I’d guess it might be because our current lives are miles away from the ones we evolved for and may not get the stimuli we require.

Isn’t lazyness just evolutionary trait? The need to conserve energy?
