Oddbean new post about login | logout coming to realise that laziness is not really a thing. it's just that capitalism makes us believe that any time spent on rest or one's self-interest is not productive and thus a waste. anyway, i hope you all have a slow friday & a restful weekend.
@d1641565 I go back and forth on this. I do think wanting to do work that your peers or community finds useful is a base human need, and this idea is the motor powering most hypothetical utopian non-capitalist human societies. And it is sometimes possible to carve out a space where it's possible to do this type of work within our current society. So if one has all the tools, abilities, and space for this type of work but never gets around to doing it, this might constitute laziness.
@d1641565 it's capitalisms fault that I haven't taken out the trash 😔
