I believe life forms are optimizers .. survival means spending the least amount (according to our mental representations but bodies are a major source of data).
Then there's lazy and defeated. I'm so not the same as my colleagues who are lazy .. they know what is useless to a point and avoid the work. I have a fundamentally different approach (from computing, food shops and industry). I aim at minimizing work AND maximizing flow. It makes my processes very different because I remap the task and attack many paths to find the most enjoyable one. The other lazies don't dive in the task they just take the simplest path and do it slowly.
