Why do we get bored?

852 views

Nowadays it’s extremely common to have your every biological need met. You’re not hungry, you’re rested, you’ve socialized with some friends, there are no threats to your wellbeing, a caveman would call this paradise. So if we just sit back and do nothing to conserve energy, why do we get bored? Why do we have to do something, and not just vibe?

Because we didn’t evolve to just vibe; our caveman selves didn’t have the luxuries we have. Long periods of inaction meant you weren’t long for the world. The need to move and to do something, rather than just wasting away, is a super valuable trait.
