If I didn't have to work, I would spend a lot of time building things (whether code things or physical things).
I know people who, if they didn't have to work, would just sit around binging TV all day.
I also know people who, if they didn't have to work, would probably somehow discover faster-than-light travel or solve world hunger or something.
It might not be culture. It might be personality that determines what we do in "idleness." More likely, it's a mix of both.
- dbalatero 3y agoI think I'd do both, depending on the week.
- wredue 3y agoYeah. Even when I am taking my mandatory time off work, I spend it coding things. Lots of people project this “you just want to be lazy”, but honestly, that’s not it at all. Hordes of people cannot just sit around and watch tv, as is demonstrated by the wealth of people who retire and then become extremely bored. Contributing where you want to contribute is a very much different thing than just wanting to be lazy.
