Seneca
Seneca was a Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright who lived during the early first century AD. He is known for his Stoic philosophy, which emphasizes reason, self-control, and the importance of virtue in facing life's challenges. Seneca famously described boredom as a form of nausea, highlighting the discomfort associated with a lack of engagement and stimulation, and his thoughts continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about the nature of boredom.
