this one is interesting.
- dandelo53 7y agoHuman's are lazy by what once was necessity, and that is still deeply rooted in our behavior. Most folks in tech can grok that Laziness can be a virtue. However, modern society has perverted the image this trait reflects to appear somehow inferior to "hard work." We live in a society where we are raised to "endure" adulthood. It definitely doesn't have to be like this now. Whether it did in order to achieve the tech at hand is a lovely debate to be had... if only more people could hear the opportunity is literally pounding at the door begging to come in. Wishful thinking anyway...`

Under this theory people lie about their true opinion due to social pressure of various kinds. The interesting part is that this phenomenon can produce dramatic and unexpected changes when a widespread preference is no longer falsified.
