Bees live in their natural environment. They donât have a separation between work and play, because their brains are engaged in the same world they evolved for. And if they donât have brains whatever.
Humans have âworkâ because we donât live in the environment our motivational systems evolved for.
This is all laid out clearly in Genesis 1.6. When you go to close a project that has issues it prompts you about what steps you took. This is because the creators knew we arenât naturally evolved to handle working with text based interfaces.
Our reward circuits go off when someone mentions taking a rest.
Bee reward circuits go off for things that we would consider work.
Basically, the whole time they are face-first in a flower slurping up nectar and gathering pollen, the thing going through their tiny brains is âFuck yeah I needed thisâ.
If you gave a bee the day off the general sentiment would be âWhat the fuck man, this is bullshit, I demand you let me go and collect nectar right fucking now!â
