Sarah Katilyn on the evolution of modern man

Society's problem?  We're bored.  Overestimulated, but utterly bored.  Human beings are hardwired for adventure.  To hunt and hoard, to fight and fuck and conquer.  To rise against challenges and adversaries and emerge victorious.  Failure wasn't an option.  It was victory or death.  What we were not wired for is a placid life on a hamster wheel of 9-5s, endless streaming services, processed foods, social media scrolls & 30 second Tiktoks.  We adapt to our environment.  Too many are walking around numbed out in pastel Crocs with shrimp spines and plus sized fupas.  Couldn't fight a pigeon and win.  What a fucking tragedy.

Blaise Pascal on boredom

All men's miseries derive in not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
