What do you mean "for a living hell no"? You think ancient humans didn't have to work to survive? You think life is some gift to you and you deserve it? Survival is work. You just want free food and shelter while others are working to provide enough for themselves and for you? If surviving is too much work for you, don't do it. No one is forcing you.
Your point is invalidated by the invention of the combine harvester, among other things. I'd also be happy going to the fields and helping out, or tending my own garden with my neighbors. It's actually already in my to-do list over the next few years. Also is that a "kill yourself" veiled in your last sentence? Certainly seems like it to me.
