“A general “law of least effort” applies to cognitive as well as physical
exertion. The law asserts that if there are several ways of achieving the

of action. In the economy of action, effort is a cost, and the acquisition of
skill is driven by the balance of benefits and costs. Laziness is built deep into our nature.”
