I own an electric shock machine and it’s a VERY revealing piece of kit.

On the other hand, boredom can suck. When people are asked to sit quietly for 15 minutes with their own thoughts or else self-administer painful electric shocks, 2/3 of men and 1/4 of women choose to shock themselves. 3/4 erinwestgate.com/uploads/7/6/4/…

A lot of the discussion of the good and bad of phones on society is really a discussion about the end of boredom.
Boredom makes people seek out things to do. That has both good & bad effects: research shows boredom boosts violence but also pushes some people to be creative.

My feed is now 100% about Helen of Troy has to be white because she is Greek and I just think that ultimately the funniest part is that Americans didn’t even consider Greeks white until about a couple generations ago! Haha

Thanks to all the noise about the Nakba I am learning a lot about the history of the region. This account is useful to cut through the sectarian shouting:

They should make a version of The Odyssey, only it’s set in Dublin, Ireland in 1904 and Odysseus is a Jewish man whose wife is having an affair and Telemachus is an aspiring author who gets into fights in pubs and wanders the strand brooding on his mother’s death.
