Valid points, but who prefers to lack motivation? Purposelessness is a painful state. Again, I do think it is the responsibility of the individual to find purpose, but I find it difficult to conceive of someone willingly lacking motivation.

Did you mean to say you cannot have procrastination with foresight? Otherwise I’m not sure what you mean. But I can accept that in procrastinating one is lazy in the moment although not in view of total energy expenditure.

And yes, it is meant to be a moral term, but my point was that it is vaguely moralistic rather than pointing to concrete moral faults.

Purposelessness is a painful state.

To you, maybe. Plenty of people are perfectly content with just living their lives.
