Not every group just does nothing on the sabbath. Orthodox Jews traditionally spend the day studying (and arguing) Torah. (But I'm not really sure - can you opt out of the Torah-wrangling and just take a walk on the beach?)
- WaitWaitWha 5y agoTrue; I referenced Sabbath since it is most heard of rest day. What I am suggesting is that the need to be "bored" has historical background. What the author discovered appears to have been discovered and confirmed centuries ago.
- javajosh 5y agoI think your comment about the Sabbath is a good one and took it further. I suppose I'm wondering if boredom is the key component or not. At least one tradition, the Jewish one, would appear to say "not".
