The most bizarre thing in nature: Human laziness

[caspex]

The human mind works the most, and the best, productivity wise, when in stressful situations.

In dire events, you'll find you're capable of things you never imagined.

Only those, in the past, who had the energy and strength, both mental and physical, to spare for intense situations, made it out alive.

So aside from your daily necessary chores, it becomes essential to save your energy up from stressful situations, which were quite unexpected and frequent in the vast majority of humanity's evolution.

Cut to modern society, where daily chores are minimal and dire situation are almost null for many people. 

Your body-mind keeps saving up for that tiger attack that'll never happen. That's laziness.

Your mind doesn't think past a season or two, because there no need to think that long term to survive.

This is my hypothesis.

Sounds logical. It's important to question why laziness exists if we wish to overcome laziness. Science also suggests that being sedentary is an evolutionary trait as the body consumes energy slowly when we have less food and other resources.
