Looks like [Vsauce](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nSFpj9HTCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA) is going for a longer video format on Youtube in this documentary about subjecting the mind to isolation / chronic boredom. It mainly captures his own experiment living in a white-room of nothing for 3 days.

One of the strongest, most emotional sensations that we can experience is birth, or re-birth, which is something that's possibly felt during a near-death experience. A mind which is not stimulated is trapped with its own thoughts, probably just like a baby. Now imagine when the baby gets of the mother's womb, overwhelmed in light of so much information. The womb is just not the most exciting place to be in, just like being in a room devoid of any stimulation!

Which reminds me of isolation that happens during our waking hours, even though if we have a busy lifestyle. Some of us can even spend our lifetime in the busiest metropolises around the world and still remain lonely. Some of us build walls around us. I've been through that phase in my life when I just felt that people are all fake and pretentious.

Well I just grew out of that after knowing that I'm not in anybody else's shoes and it was an outward frustration, instead of something that can only be introspective.

I used to date someone who couldn't listen / speak and have always pondered about her narcissistic tendencies and addiction to social media. Maybe it's some sort of relief from social isolation after all. There's nothing wrong about wanting to fit in. 

Writing this post, I was reminded that 2016 was the time when Steemit actually lifted me out of disillusionment, back in the day when I was stuck bored as a corporate zombie. Perhaps it's like discovering a new family on the Internet? I don't know, never been part of any online communities before this. All said, I'm glad to have found a good number of Steemians in which I can trust and have fun communicating with.

Anyway, enjoy the video!
