But most likely they'll just continue being lazy because it's easy as fuck to do assuming you have the basic necessities taken care of.

That's exactly the point though. If a person's necessities are taken care of, what exactly are they missing out on if they make the "lazy" choice? If you need to put in effort to survive and you don't, you're "lazy" but actually there's something off with your survival instincts which is a sign of something deeper. If you don't need to put in the effort to survive, then it's only natural that of course you wouldn't make a choice that takes effort just for the sake of doing what other people consider effortful/productive when it doesn't get you anything. Is the child of rich parents "lazy" if they stay home all day, compared to the person who needs to go get a job?

But then beyond basic necessities, there's also other things on that human pyramid of needs. I'm not a psychologist but I'd guess that if a person is at, like, healthy mental health and has been raised in a loving environment and etc then they will usually naturally have some goals they want to achieve and that putting in effort to achieve them will come to them sort of naturally. Maybe that's not the case and some people are just innately "lazy" to the point where even if they were raised perfectly in a good environment they'd still just choose to do nothing? That's the debate of the thread I guess (thanks crazyisgood, great topic) but it's a valid debate, not just "lol nah some people are just lazy"
