      I think the boundary between "human nature" and "customs of the time and place" is so fuzzy that it is undisentanglable. Is laziness a psychological need or is it just the N-player prisoner's dilemma? Is power lust the inner killer monkey or the Dark Forest?

      > so fuzzy that it is undisentanglable. 🤔 will ponder this > Is laziness a psychological need 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."

      It's also close to what Marx and Engels and Kautsky were talking about with "surplus value" and "alienated labor." (Though many Marxists fail to see a point Marx made early: the greater the distance through which labor is alienated, the larger the surplus becomes)

      anyway, good conversation, would love to explore it in more depth some time, but must work now I reiterate something I said ~5 years ago: if we ever bump into each other f2f, drinks are one me.

      Is it my genes or my upbringing that make me say I'll gladly accept, and then reciprocate?
