"'Lazy' may well be another term for 'efficient,' as so many love to romantically remark, but it nevertheless has a vague connotation of '..drowning in a distorted sense of responsibility, dimension, and progress, with symptoms including a stupefying lack of initiative,' but, yes: 'laziness' is a sort-of pursuit of 'efficiency-'
with no intention or willingness to bear the responsibility of exertion.
A system cannot be said to be efficient
if it bereft of energy by which it might do work, however efficiently.
Put your energy where your mouth is.
It's cool to kick it once it's done,
but, for now: ante up or fold."

A cute joke gone philosophically wrong.
I'm lazy, but I'm working on it.. well, chiseling away at it, really. Okay, fine! I'll start working on evolving as a conscious being first thing tomorrow, I promise! Right after I hit the snooze button for the umpteenth time.
