If everyone found joy in boring tasks, wed never advance as a society. All progress is through laziness.

We didn't go to the moon due to laziness. We don't build planes, trains, and skyscrapers due to laziness. We didn't invent vaccines or nuclear physics due to laziness. We don't write standards or encyclopedias or novels due to laziness.

I'd suggest most of our progress was actually made by grinding through boring tasks. Many (most?) lazy people do not drive much progress.

Your statement is not logical as all progress definitely is not through laziness.
