"If there’s someone out there who just sits on the beach all day and survives by eating coconuts"

This seems like a dire situation for most humans and probably isn't the status quo for human operation. Its perfectly fine to sit on the beach, but eventually a light should go on that would say "lets go build some tools", "lets go see if I can catch a fish", "lets build a hut". Which would all be fine and admirable things to spend your time doing.



Obviously I don’t mean it literally, I mean a general situation where one’s needs are met and they decide to spend their time generally idle.
