Sloth
/sləʊθ/ (n.)
1. Laziness. A restive compulsion to find an easier way of doing anything, with an ultimate goal of doing nothing at all.
2. A mammal that, by achieving 1., seems to have done perfectly well for itself.
In the Bible, “sloth” is one of the deadly sins — it may also have been one of the Seven Dwarves, come to think of it — but in the Jolly Contrarian’s estimations, at least insofar as it translates into a sort of inverse dark energy in the direction of breaking down crappy and obtuse drafting — one of the great paragonic virtues.
Here is what General Kurt Gebhard Adolf Philipp Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord<ref>He is regarded as "an undisguised opponent" of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.<ref> had to say about his officer class:
“The clever and hard-working should be General Staff.
The stupid and lazy are suited to routine duties.
The clever and lazy are qualified for highest leadership.
The stupid and hard-working will always only cause damage.”
Be a leader, folks.
