Is there a scientific reason why we can easily maintain focus 24 hours straight playing a video game or binge watch TV series with no sleep, but spend just 5 mins studying physics/chemistry and we get bored already?

Why do our brains not show as much enthusiasm in studying than when playing games?

Why did the smart kids in high school not play video games?

Dopamine receptors are overexcited by all that stimulation. Cutting back on playing video games and watching tv that much might be able to lower that very high threshold you currently have. Meditation might also aid you in the process.

There's not really any meaningful we and our to speak of. Depends on your frame of life and general state of mind.

You are the engineer. Make it do what you want it to, or stay a lazy fuck.

This is false. In my experience, the smart kids would play more video games than the popular kids (most of them were stupid anyway).

I was always the smartest kid in science classes and I was playing lot's of games.
The kids who were dump usually used computer much less because they spent all the time outside with friends.
