@Hyolobrika @gabriel layabouts are sort of.. not as prevalent of a thing as capitalists seem to insist.

there is a kind of trauma induced on people that if they had to suffer for nice things then so must everyone else. this is the heart of if one person suffers to buy an apple, someone else suffering less (maybe the apple is free?) is an offense. this is the crux of a of anti-welfare rhetoric.

some of the preliminary studies seem to show otherwise. [some] children want to help, but are systematically trained not to. some want to learn, but are systematically confined to a box of busywork and punishment so they can't. then after eighteen years of denial told they are now forced to do all those things that five seconds before their birthday were deemed unsuitable.

there have been some research schools note that when exposed to mixed progress environments, most of them at *some* point will start to pick up a book or enroll in a class. it's not as Scientifically Manageable as the system wants, though.
