Lolz

> suggest that mental effort is inherently aversive.

Why I think modern science is a failure. Such a well conducted study and inherent mysteries are concluded by universal condemnation.

Thought has entropic affects (energy and order diminishes somewhere inside the mind.)

Have a nap, tomorrow your capacity will INCREASE. Laws of life information assimilation.

If North Americans changed their attitude about work and uncomfortable energy expenditures, they would be unstoppable!

Studies with sloppy conclusions only suggest it's better to be lazy and not think. Rather, the self may be overcome and we achieve solutions beyond ourselves; we merely tire and are easily overworked which degrades our momentary performance.

Strike for so-called-science. Beware these are rewarded for writing papers.
