Someone on Twitter wrote:
"What is the evolutionary advantage of putting off a task? This is the sort of thing that makes me believe in original sin."
Without thinking, I immediately shot back:
"Every action has risks, including death. So the best strategy is to save all your energy for when you really need it by doing nothing UNLESS you need it. This means real needs, like escaping the tiger; not socially-constructed 'needs' like impressing your neighbors."
Probably I'm wrong. But I felt I had to put in a good word for procrastination.
