How Boredom Built Civilization (And How Your Phone Is Killing It)

You reach for your phone before you even realize it. But what are you actually escaping? The real answer is far stranger, and it begins around a fire, with no screen in sight. In this video, you'll discover why people in one famous experiment chose an electric shock over sitting alone with their thoughts. You'll see how hunter-gatherers really spent their days, why boredom may be an ancient alarm that pushed your ancestors to invent music, art, and stories, and what happens when your phone cancels that alarm.
