“Only one thing is certain: it is all a little bit worrisome and very much pointless”

We are amateurs at living, pretending our way through life. It often seems like we don’t know what on earth we’re doing. Even after so much living, there are still so many questions about life that we don’t have the answers to. It is time for us to find out.

What is pretty and who is ugly, and why do we get bored? Why do we take selfies, why do we feel rejected, and why can’t we change our habits? Are stupid people happier than smart people? Why do we get involved in relationships, and why do we stereotype? And why is it that we like one person yet can’t stand the other? The questions are endless. Science can give us many  answers, life some more, yet a few things remain uncertain.

Ugly People and Boredom tells a story about us. It reflects the thoughts of everyday people going through their daily life. The stories are written in a global setting, and discuss current events and controversial topics in a scientific context and with a humoristic twist.
