I'd argue that it's the result of evolution in a resource-constrained universe. Lazy entities survive and maybe reproduce ; Un-lazy entities fritter away calories and starve.

Or the un-lazy entities capture the calories from the lazy, and let them do the starving. "The rain falls both upon the just And likewise on the unjust fella But more upon the just, because The unjust steals the just's umbrella."

Ponder this: if you choose to postulate a "power lust drive" and a "laziness drive" you can derive either from game theory; but the game theory works equally well for a culturally conditioned autonomous being or a "selfish gene." Trying to figure out location is a mug's game.
