> We are lazy creatures who try to expend as little mental energy as possible. but I take this as a virtue, not as a vice. we are efficient, we (as life) do not like to toil needlessly nor wastefully. (IMO, the viciousness comes from an extreme posture in either direction) but also I want to remark that efficiency is never the goal. is not even a means to the end (of living), it's merely a choice, a preference, an intelligent style favored by a large variety of living things and physical phenomena.
