I would encourage you not to vote for eternal (unless you're incredibly set on it or doing it as a sort of protest vote). It only got 2 votes in the strawpoll, and is unlikely to be a contender for the traits by the end of voting. Of course, you're welcome to do so, just pointing out that its sort of lagging behind the others at a time when we kind of need to pick winners.
This is why the simple "one vote each, highest wins" is a terrible terrible voting system. Vote politics just kills good things, and there are ways of defeating most ties too if your voting system is good enough. I honestly believe that we want to drive them into overspending. It is a classic failing of industry and something that should be very exploitable, both in publicity and brutality. Perfection is opposed by "good enough" which is great for making due with limited resources and supplying your massed forces while evolution is, quite frankly, terrible to work with, and is opposed by arbitrary consistency, which is brilliant for war on an industrial scale. I vote for eternity not out of protest but out of desperation, and to show people that they can actually switch to it if they agree, because nothing kills choice more assuredly than false perceptions.
what is the actual opposite of the moral virtue of hard work?
No, instinct is cool, I just don't see it working well.
Immoral virtue of hard work: domination. Okay, the path to get there is a bit complex... Subterfuge?
Moral Vice of Hard work: Obsession/Devotion/workaholic? Lol if workagolic translates to industry, industry versus industry mwahahaha!
Moral virtue of easy work: Freedom/Release/Charity... umm... "to expend your free time on worthy pursuits"...
Moral virtue of hard not-working: Judiciousness/patience.
...
Well I imagine that there is something somewhat viable that could come from all of that. Also I was quite hard on decay before, but it is worth noting that a "negative" alignment can, most likely, be used to more direct effect than positive ones can. Destruction is, afterall, more powerful than creation... Still, it is a bit of a P.R. nightmare to be associated with anything overtly negative, Just look at Kali... or any death god really...
