What do you know. Reality does t match.
I wonder if returns on ChatGPT purchased items are also higher.
Someone can want a thing, even very badly, without wanting to put in the work for it.
Conversely, someone can work very hard for something they do not want.
The linkage between wanting a thing and wanting to do the work to get it is not absolute, or necessary there at all.
Pretty much the impetus behind a lot of theft. Sure, there's thieving because people can't afford food, but that's all theft. There's theft because they are addicts and don't want to sober up long enough to earn money, so they still things. There's others that can't afford something so rather than saving for it, they just take it.
I'm not sure how to convey this idea properly...Can't you view the repercussions of theft (Legal action, distrust, etc) as 'work' being put in? Sure, it's a different kind of work, but while I have a lack of motivation to want to work to buy a Lambo as I find them not worth the value, I also have a lack of motivation to steal a Lambo as I find it not worth the consequences.
Equating "work" as the repercussions is looking at things in strange way. That's just punishment for "working" outside of the legal confines of society.
Consider an alternative viewpoint: rather than contorting the definition of "work" in such a way and convincing everyone to accept the new definition, we might instead be content saying "someone can want a thing, even very badly, without wanting to put in the work for it."
Generally, such highly-motivated people end up being thieves and grifters
