Some people require too much time for even simple tasks.Its not because they are lazy, but they just enjoy it like masturbation. The more time taken to finish, the more pleasure.

Laziness doesn't exist. It's a tactic of capitalism to shame people into doing something they don't want to do. People with ADHD are often called lazy due to executive dysfunction, but again that isn't laziness.

Capitalism just borrowed the whole "lazy" sham from previous systems of control. "Sloth" was one of the seven deadly sins over a millenium before capitalism became anything like it is in modern times. And the church for sure used it as a weapon to shame serfs into working themselves to death for the benefit of their particular lord.

I suppose you could say capitalism was too lazy to come up with something more original.

Also, I don't know why you're getting downvotes.

"if you were lazy, you'd be having fun" was one of those life changing sentences for me
