    Yeah, I think that even when we believe we are technically doing nothing like laying in bed, we are still very doing something. The reason why we classify it as nothing is because we don't want that do be our something.

    i rarely ever feel boredom, i actually feel that what i tend to get is the inverse of it : rather than having time to fill with nothing to do i always have things i could do with no time to do them.
    i do fill my mind with too much distraction from my phone, but i wouldn't describe the state before as boredom i think, i feel it more as a compulsion to give myself some satisfaction. i realise it doesn't sound that different, but it rarely ever feels like i'm bored, more like i'm trying to motivate myself to do by giving myself a treat. if i'm not doing anything, my mind is always doing something, even if i have access to nothing my brain will be talking to itself. so i never feel that i wish i had something to to do, because i'm always doing something, if only internally, and unfortunately, that often means i don't do things i'd want to plan.

    I disagree that it’s better to know everything than to know, I believe that ignorance is bliss, I have seen it all too many times in life, the happiest people are the ones that don’t over think too much about everything or want to know everything.

    I have a point to make about it
    In the punic war between Rome and Carthage there was a naval battle between them and Roman generals asked for a signal from the gods and it was raining storm which is bad omen for a battle but they didn't care they went there but they lost this is the least free will you can know or you can call it Roman arrogance but it still a way just like Spartacus the slave that had omens of being a king then we all know what happened to him I don't really remember he either died or killed himself
    Free will was there too. because even if God said like hi you are going to be successful but you said no that is free will or you fucked up that is free will a will to fail none the less
    or like when did stoicism begin it was like hey you have free will to react how you want to react to bad things

    Boredom as far as I get it is just your brain telling you that you could be more effective in a thing. We get board of things like songs or actions, Boredom is not sedentary its the unwanting to do things that you currently are

    The world in the time machine isn't actually a dystopia, or at least it its not JUST a dystopia. Instead, it is both a dystopia and a utopia simultaneously. I think that the only realistic destinations for societies to arrive at are this kind of bifurcated world. Heaven cannot exist without hell.

    15:36 Is it because of the “meaning” of the goal that makes us running on the hedonic treadmill rather than get that deep existence feeling? Ex: amour propre v.s. struggle for the beloved

    About the question of whether you'd like to know if your SO cheated on you or not, I always ask people that question and most people would say they'd like to know… but it seems like they make that decision based on the premise that they already know about the cheating. I think a lot of people are unable to consider the question from a position of not having opened the box containing schrodinger's cat.

    Yeah I think that we are guided by emotions, and the instrument for that is the reason

    I really like philosophy and physics because when I question myself about existence, when I struggle to understand something but then I get it, I feel happiness, I feel this fulfilment. We seek the answers of the universe for dopamine…

    hey sisyphus, I think you would like to discover how profound meditation can get, I recommend the waking up app by Sam Harris https://wakingup.com/ I can't stress enough how much I've learned about the nature of experience itself using the app.
    BTW I love your vids.

    Too nice…

    Love the episode, too many good ideas came to me from this episode, really love it. Like you said, or like i understand, boredom is like a fear that doesn't exist but we all have the fear to experiment, and is the same that make us run away from it to don't fall in.
    Something like that…
    Non't native, sorry if someone reads this.
