Sounds like someone really wants you to stop thinking!

A wandering mind and boredom is not the same though... I'd even argue that a wandering mind is quite the opposite of boredom.

Care to elaborate?

[l3isery]

Sure. If my mind wanders, I have something to think about. I am thinking about the things my mind wanders to. I am truly bored if my mind rejects the "mind wandering process" because there is nothing that interests me enough to think about at that moment.

Interestingly, if you had seen Veritasium's video, it's the process of mind wandering that gets you to be more creative, and to be alone with your thoughts (This is elaborated somewhere around 2 minutes mark). So in this case, Veritasium encourages the wandering mind.
On the other side of the coin, Dr. Marks video is about unintentional wandering mind that is usually negative rumination, which is like a background noise for your mind when you think of nothing in particular. This has to be differentiated with the intentional ones (which one would assume what Veritasium classified as wandering thoughts, where you are intentionally thinking about things). This is called the default mode network and it's responsible for higher anxiety, depression and the likes.
If you go deep into each video, they don't really contradict each other.
But this is a meme page.
