Is there an evolutionary cause? Is it genes, or is it upbringing?
I'd like your thoughts on this, Veeky Forums.
Why are people lazy?

i think you know what people are going to say... both... in all likelihood... don't know any research on this but yeah...
i think more interesting is asking the question "what is laziness?". how do you classify or define this behaviour in the context of the brains function and the computations it performs? How do you distinguish it from other categories of behaviour we have that are similar or share similarities, both in expected and unexpected ways?

DUDE THE BRAIN ID AN ANALYTIC ENGINE LMAO
the closest thing you can say about the brain is that it's approximated by a tm in P with an oracle in NP, which represents the qualia of the soul, but even that is wrong because the brain doesn't simply perform computations

Laziness is just your little brainlet brains way of preventing it from overloading

laziness conserves energy, it's an evolutionary advantage
also, it forces us to think up ways of achieving the same goal by using the least amount of energy, providing a further evolutionary advantage

Nope, not genetic. I am kinda lazy, and my oldest sib is lazy. However, my other two sibs are the farthest thing from it.

Prove it.
