That's fine. I really understand the appeal, even if I don't share it. But here's the thing, you can't just say that everyone else has to work because you happen to like it. Consider a future post-scarcity society where most labour is done by machines and the only large-scale uses of human brains involve creativity, be it in art, philosophy, science, what have you. Now, some people may very well want to work and break a sweat. So let them. If they want to make things with their own two hands, let them. But then others might like having machines do the work, and using their time and energy on other things. So why not let them use the machines? Why shouldn't people be allowed to live a hedonistic lifestyle? What possible argument could you have for why that should not be allowed?
I see your point.
