Brin told the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;And actually in building extremism. We&#8217;ve done a lot of work on extremism that shows a high correlation with boredom.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Data suggests that boredom led to the rise of fascism and communism.
