You Are Not "Bored", You Are Running Away (Pascal’s Philosophy)

Описание: When was the last time you did... absolutely nothing? No phone, no music, no distractions. If the thought of sitting in silence makes you anxious, you are not alone. In this video, we dive into the mind of 17th-century philosopher Blaise Pascal to understand why modern humans are so terrified of being alone with their thoughts.

You might think you are just "scrolling" or "relaxing," but Pascal predicted a darker truth 350 years ago: We are not looking for entertainment; we are looking for a distraction from ourselves.

In this video, we explore: ✅ Why your brain hates boredom (and why that's a problem). ✅ Pascal’s famous "Empty Room" theory. ✅ The concept of "Divertissement" and why we hunt for dopamine. ✅ How to stop running away and find true peace in the silence.
