They didn't say nothing else has to work
They said we're the only species that has to pay to live. Pay = working to survive. Pay is reward for effort. It's just false.
Not true, you are interpreting their argument in a way that makes it easy to dismiss, i.e. a strawman
The absence of rent does not imply the absence of work
First off, that's projecting lol. And as soon as you say strawman means you're trying to turn it into an argument, which is just a waste of time. Also that's exactly what you're doing. That's also just wrong.
Trying to argue over definitions of simple words is probably one of the biggest waste of bandwidth out there.
