My laziness is very high.

Laziness

Laziness isnt something to be mad about, nobody who says they are mad or irritated about someone else's laziness really is. Someone laying around all day isn't motivated enough to burn buildings (arson), to steal lots of money from people, to kill for personal gain, and so on. All the wrong (highly motivated) people are already taken more seriously than they should be, while a lot of times, people will think somebody laying around is joking all the time.

Nobody really gets mad about laziness, theres things to really be angry about, such as people fucking with other people's lives.

A billionaire who's a clown gets taken more seriously by many people than some guy laying around, mostly because he/she has money, and people are forced to respect his/her money.

Laziness Bias

The general form of Epistemological Laziness Bias—a cognitive bias where one avoids the effort of genuine inquiry, research, or reasoning, while maintaining the appearance of intellectual rigor through performative skepticism or demands on others. Laziness Bias operates across domains: in debates, it manifests as demanding sources without searching; in learning, as expecting others to summarize complex topics; in reasoning, as accepting the first plausible explanation rather than investigating further; in judgment, as relying on stereotypes rather than individual assessment. The bias lies in outsourcing cognitive labor while claiming the high ground—wanting the rewards of knowledge without the work of knowing, the status of rationality without the effort of reasoning. It's particularly prevalent online, where information is abundant but attention is scarce, and where performing skepticism is easier than actually being informed.

Example: "He'd never read the book, never even googled the topic, but he confidently declared the summary wrong and demanded she prove it. Laziness Bias: confident ignorance demanding that others do the work."

Laziness Bias

A cognitive and rhetorical bias common in online debates where one side does none of the intellectual work—no research, no argument construction, no evidence—yet demands that the other side produce endless proof, often demanding impossible or absurd levels of evidence (e.g., “prove that thought exists”). The lazy participant outsources all cognitive labor to the opponent, then uses any failure to meet arbitrary standards as proof that the opponent’s position is weak. It is the opposite of “do your own research”: it demands that others do all research for them.

Example: “He asked for sources, got them, asked for better sources, got them, then asked for a ‘meta‑analysis of all possible sources’—laziness bias, making the other person work while he did nothing.”

Pre-laziness

1. Being sure of one's lack of interest in something before they know what it is.

2. The the ability to predict the future and want nothing to do with it.

Steve: Mike! how the hell did you not have to work today? The line was out of the store!

Mike: Yeah, I have what ya call, "Pre-laziness." I asked for the day off two months ago.
