People who need work always assume everyone else is like them, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar or defective person. Like morning people, or sports people.
I would happily spend the rest of my life not working.
I’m pretty sure he’s talking about doing literally nothing, as opposed to not working.
I’m pretty sure no one at all was talking about literally doing nothing, because what a stupid scenario to even consider
I think they’re talking moreso about having anything to do at all, not just work. I think we all agree that work can be a drag. But if I didn’t need to work to make a living, I’d still be doing things - hobbies, learning new things, whatever. I’d rot away if I just sat on the couch watching tv all day everyday, for example.
But presumably you don’t just stare at the wall. “Humans need something to do” is mainly bound to not just sitting around twiddling your thumbs. It’s the reason we get bored, the brain is annoyed at not having anything to focus on.
It doesn’t have to be literal work, just something you find engaging, be it going for a run, tending to houseplants, or completing your entire video game backlog.
And of course there is variation between humans. Some people cope well with having little to do, others always need to do something they find productive.

That is exactly what I said, and exactly what I meant. People need something to do.
but if you literally had nothing to do in your life, you would grow bored, and start doing something the human condition is to create things.
Why do you think we industrialized?

yeah see im confused because i thought that’s what we were already talking about, but then people started talking about it again like it wasn’t already understood.
I did not pick up on it.
