    I don’t see how you could see my original claim of

    “Humans are laboring creatures”

    Respond to it with

    “Humans need to labor in order to make food to survive”

    And still come from a place of disagreement.

    Never did I claim “people work just to work”. We don’t see people spending every waking hour outside making mud pies. We don’t see people spending entire days moving 100-ton blocks from one side of town to the other just for the hell of it.

        If people didn’t like to work, we wouldn’t have began down the perpetual path of putting effort into meticulously engineering labor-saving devices.

          If we liked to work we’d prefer to do everything by hand than use a something that saves our labor.
