Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.

00:02

Action and

00:04

danger is exciting but this

00:07

is a fake gun and the process

00:10

of enlarging a hole, like the barrel of a gun, is called

00:14

boring. Boring. Boring a hole

00:18

is a slow process requiring repetitive movements from a tool that goes in

00:22

circles,

00:23

which may be why things that are slow and repetitive and don't appear to be going

00:28

anywhere

00:28

came to be described with the same word. They're boring. But why do we get

00:35

bored and why does it matter? Evidence of being

00:39

temporarily uninterested in anything happening - boredom -

00:42

has been found as far back as ancient Pompeii.

00:46

Boredom is a feeling we don't like. It's

00:49

uncomfortable but it's trivial, right? I mean, boredom happens to all of us but

00:54

now

00:55

we have Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and texting and Candy Crush

00:58

to keep ourselves occupied. So, really,

01:02

who cares? Well, here's the thing.

01:06

Physical pain, heartbreak and nausea are also

01:09

uncomfortable but they're caused by dangerous

01:12

serious toxic things, whereas boredom

01:16

occurs when you are merely disinterested in the outside world

01:20

and the inner world of your thoughts, when you are

01:23

alone with just yourself. So,

01:27

does the existence of boredom mean that when it really comes down to it life

01:31

itself existing isn't really enough?

01:36

Arthur Schopenhauer said that "if life possessed

01:40

in itself a positive value in real content,

01:43

there would be no such thing as boredom. Mere existence would fulfil

01:47

and satisfied us." But apparently it doesn't

01:51

because boredom exists. Is something wrong

01:56

with being, or is something

01:59

awesome about us? Nearly 200 hundred years ago Giacomo Leopardi wrote in a

02:05

letter to his father

02:07

"boredom is the most sublime of all human emotions because

02:11

it expresses the fact that the human spirit, in a certain sense,

02:15

is greater than the entire universe. Boredom
