I think it's safe to say most people would rather slack off than work extremely hard.

Sometimes, rarely, people have a strong sense of purpose, or a very high level of professionalism.

But 95% of people, if they could chose to take a big salary - AND - chill and not do much, probably would.



Somebody worked their asses off to give us an immutable infrastructure on top of which our reality runs. I think rationalizing people being lazy (and speaking for their laziness) is a poor way of approaching things, unless we all just want to be lazy. If that's the case, carry on! :)

Taking a "big salary" is just a symptom of not being careful with how we implement consciousness on the Internet. Taking a moment to appreciate what one has in this moment is far more important than what one may have tomorrow.
