Study: Digital media may be fueling a global boredom crisis

[@BajatheChickenMan]

There hasnt been an original thought in Hollywood in decades. And everything made now has to have some agenda and fill dei quotas. The quality of content is garbage.

The term is Analysis Paralysis. Too many options leads to difficulty making a choice as discerning which choice is "correct" or optimal becomes difficult & feels like work. Dan Ariely talks about this in his excellent book "Predictably Irrational".

Oh here's another "crisis ".🤪

[@RolandDuke]

Oh no!! We’ll have to put our phones down and go outside!! Nooo!! lol

[@richspizzaparty]

If you're bored, you're boring, simple as that. There are an infinite amount of things to do outside your phone.

Never bored. Always something to learn.

[@Apeiron242]

If you are bored: - you are not thinking - you are boring - you are failing to make the most of the moment - you think you are better than the situation

Human beings do not work as one for the benefit of all. That’s what fuels my depression…

[@NinjaRunningWild]

Should they though? Sounds great but who gets to decide what that is? Who takes up what task? The amount of difficulty even getting small groups to work cohesively is exasperating. Take on a few leadership roles as a volunteer & find out first hand how vexing it is to "herd cats".

@@NinjaRunningWildI agree with what you say. It’s very difficult.

@@docwillis1443 We all have different priorities & values. It's hard, if not impossible, to get them all to align. It's precisely why we seek out like-minded people (aka tribalism).

[@docwillis1443]

@@NinjaRunningWildAbsolutely, it’s in our nature. I guess we can’t change that.

Cmon lets be honest here, this is no accident, this has been done by design.
