Humans do seem to be like that. They need something other than complete free time
There's an "epidemic" of people who have nothing to do and for whatever reason can't figure something out

Retiree data also shows finanical freedom and free time often doesn't lead to people figuring out something to do
- CuriousSkeptic 2mo agoNote sure this is a strong counter argument. It not that surprising that a system optimised in a certain direction has trouble accommodating operating modes it hasn’t optimised for.
- duskdozer 2mo agoAs retirees. One explanation could be the lack of free time and resources over the course of their life prevented them from developing themselves enough to have something to do. A small parallel is that (for me) a weekend is not enough to do much more than recover from the workweek. But two weeks off is enough to recover and then do some more things. Even then, it would take more time to do things of major significance.
