Burnout isn’t an accident.
In this episode, I sit on a park bench and talk about why stillness feels suspicious, why boredom is treated like a problem, and how a society built on constant stimulation quietly teaches people to fear being alone with their thoughts.
This isn’t motivation.
This isn’t productivity advice.
It’s a look at what happens when rest, solitude, and reflection are treated as failures instead of necessities.
Park Bench Ontology is a podcast about identity, systems, and the strange things we’ve been taught to accept as normal.
