I wanna quibble with this just a little bit. People work. Left to their own devices, with their needs met, people will dedicate their energy toward generating value.
What no one wants to do is a job, which is an arrangement by which several of us have to do more in exchange for less so one of us can do nothing all day and then complain that "nobody wants to work anymore".
If left to my own devices, I'll generate art. I give it away and almost never sell it. A lot of it is bad art and has no value.
My house is filled with my friends 'bad' art because i love her and it makes me happy when i look at it
