welcome to ANI in the air under the tent and around Baltimore your daily podcast
0:04
briefing of all the goings-ons ins and rounds our thirtieth Sudbury School so
0:09
today was a really beautiful day I'm sitting out here it's well just about
0:15
four o'clock pretty empty I think it was yeah I don't know maybe something by
0:23
heat maybe everyone's gone home I don't know definitely had some snowball action
0:27
today had some running around and all sorts of things like that we had our
0:34
usual Monday announcements which was was good I mentioned the changes to the
0:41
year-long clerkships and their schedule and both of those things still need to
0:45
put that on discord and we've got a beach field trip on Thursday article
0:52
club at one on Friday and end of your show prep going on so talk to Caroline
1:00
about that and yeah end of your show will be next Friday on our last day of
1:09
school so that's all exciting and let's see we the staff have just kind of mapped
1:23
out a bunch of summer stuff and put in the calendar for next year I have to
1:29
update the website it's mostly specified in our rule book but is all that we're
1:39
looking forward to you know hopefully rolling back some COVID stuff next year
1:46
and we've got a assembly scheduled for July 15th so hopefully we can see what's
1:54
going on then with the numbers they're looking really quite good and fantastic
1:59
right now so yeah all righty that was some of the day I had a nice little JC
2:12
team today I was actually on the team so that was fun and yeah admissions we've
2:20
got our last visiting week students this week two of them one of which is a
2:26
returning student and we also no longer doing any more interviews for over the
2:36
next two weeks we're just going to focus on finishing out the year and then over
2:40
the summer we'll start doing admission stuff then all right well what do we
2:50
got let's see so oh yeah it's millions Monday the theme of the week is boredom
3:05
it's an honor of the upcoming summer where a lot of our students have boredom
3:10
of not being here but so I thought I'd get the ball rolling with an exciting
3:17
computation about how many bored people there are in this in this country I like
3:22
sticking with the country because I don't really know too much about the
3:26
emotional life of people elsewhere and to be honest I don't know that much
3:31
about the emotional life here but I at least am know a little bit of it so the
3:39
basic question is who gets bored and for how long so I would say that there are
3:46
people who are kind of very bored in general for a period of time a few
3:53
months half a year so kind of cater on cater crater no I don't know word
4:03
bouncing back and forth teetering on on the edge of like depression or whatever
4:13
but certainly there are people who just really find their lives boring and they
4:21
want a new kind of direction to go so and then there are most of the rest of
4:32
us there are you know times of boredom unfortunately I think most of us now
4:38
including myself fill spots of boredom with noisy chatter on the YouTube before
4:46
the YouTube there was TV and before the TV there were books you know people
4:51
always trying to fill in those moments of boredom with something but let's just
5:00
say that I don't know 10% well I don't know maybe 1% of people have are in a
5:11
severe bored state 1% so 300 million people or so so that's 3 million people
5:20
and that's just going to be kind of constant and then you know maybe like 20
5:31
percent of people are just so busy and on fire that they're not bored even a
5:35
single moment right so we'll just take out those crazy people at 60 million
5:39
gone so now we're kind of like at 250 million or so and maybe another 50
5:48
million for I don't know people who just don't fall into that category very I
5:57
don't can't even express themselves well I don't know yeah I like 200 million
6:04
anyway so two hundred and million and of those people basically normal I'm gonna
6:21
say who maybe they spend half an hour a day bored various points waiting for
6:35
things maybe in a meeting or sitting around or just waiting for something or
6:41
just taking a moment just look a little bit so half an hour 200 million people
6:49
half an hour in a day I'm just gonna say this is spanning over these 16 I mean
6:58
let's go 12 hours so we are talking about a half an hour out of 12 hours
7:09
24 100 so yeah like four or five percent that's it yeah it's a 10 million so I'm
7:30
gonna say right now there's 13 million bored Americans 13 million right now
7:39
it's what I'm gonna say I have no idea if that's true but it sounds sounds why
7:48
not all right well I hope I didn't bore you 13 million and two for the two
7:54
listeners anyway so that is my millions Monday look forward to more exciting
8:03
topics in the topic exciting discussion on the topic of boredom that's coming up
8:09
