    Laziness has ALWAYS been derided as a character flaw.

    This is a nonsequitor. Masturbation has also long been vilified. Doesn’t make it not pleasurable. In fact, many things that are pleasurable are framed as character flaws by people who believe they will benefit from your self-denial.

      Laziness does not mean lack of responsibilities and not doing anything. Laziness means needing to do something and not doing it. The definition is unwilling.

      The premise that normies get pleasure from being lazy is false. Executive disfunction means not responding to the anxiety with action to remove the anxiety. Instead the anxiety becomes its own feedback loop of inaction.
