Why does everyone want to have enough capital so they don’t have to work anymore?

  capital doesn't take up time, so you can scale higher than work. But that doesn't mean it's "better" than labour - it's just different.

    Time is the most important thing we have. That’s a major reason why prison is a deterrent. Practically everyone with significant capital trades it to gain more time. To deny this aspect of capitalism is straight up absurd.
