How many people eat food because they know they need it vs because they just want it. I think chronic boredom is like that but worse and far more subtle. It amplifies a lot of our other issues, such as adhd and obesity.
And I don’t think you need to be bored to enjoy good entertainment.
Or maybe we’re just really bored and stupid.
I suspect chronic boredom is widespread but almost no one realises it.
One of our chief industries is entertainment. Everyone knows it.
