Just finished watching the new movie "Dune". Since reading this article, I have come to the realization that the mantra repeated much in the movie "Fear is the mind killer" has changed in this pandemic. The author of the article linked above mentions "Psychological Richness", it's the varied experiences that fends of boredom, and boredom is the real mind killer. I think that why drug use and smoking has increased during the pandemic.
It's interesting that the study participants in the article preferred the pain of electric shocks to take their mind off boredom..
