I blame Jeremy Corbyn, ever since he came to power the country has gone to the dogs. Him and his cronies feeding these stories to the liberal hand-wringing daily mail in an effort to make it appear less of a Labour rag.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Laziness is a sign of intelligence: Researchers say people who spend more time thinking are less physically active
Used 'Need for Cognition' to find 30 'thinkers' and 30 'non-thinkers'
Monitored movement and activity levels of 60 students wearable device
Researchers found the 'thinkers' were much less active than 'non-thinkers', however, the weekends proved to be the same levels for both groups
and a quiz

- The Need for Cognition Scale
The 18 statements from the revised Need for Cognition Scale (Cacioppo et al., 1984) used in the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education are shown below. Asterisks designate the items that are reverse scored.
I would prefer complex to simple problems.
I like to have the responsibility of handling a situation that requires a lot of thinking.
Thinking is not my idea of fun.*
I would rather do something that requires little thought than something that is sure to challenge my thinking abilities.*
I try to anticipate and avoid situations where there is likely a chance I will have to think in depth about something.*
I find satisfaction in deliberating hard and for long hours.
I only think as hard as I have to.*
I prefer to think about small, daily projects to long-term ones.*
I like tasks that require little thought once I’ve learned them.*
The idea of relying on thought to make my way to the top appeals to me.
I really enjoy a task that involves coming up with new solutions to problems.
Learning new ways to think doesn’t excite me very much.*
I prefer my life to be filled with puzzles that I must solve.
The notion of thinking abstractly is appealing to me.
I would prefer a task that is intellectual, difficult, and important to one that is somewhat important but does not require much thought.
I feel relief rather than satisfaction after completing a task that required a lot of mental effort.*
It’s enough for me that something gets the job done; I don’t care how or why it works.*
I usually end up deliberating about issues even when they do not affect me personally.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
