Antiwork

Real question for Antiwork.

Isn't Antiwork just Antilife? Life = work. And I don't mean a 40-60 hour a week slave wage job is required for it. I mean, even without the benefit of society, civilization, governance, etc. (Yes, I said benefit), Living would still be quite a lot of work. Now, I believe it's arguable that civilization has failed somewhat. Prior to civilization, the average person probably worked about 20 hours a week. And now, that number has doubled or tripled. So people thought being in a society was going to make life easier for everyone, but that has backfired somehow. Anyway, isn't Antiwork just a little stupid based on the fact that living by itself requires some work?
