> Well, no. Boredom comes from within. When you have too many thoughts, or too few, to focus, boredom happens. > TL;DR: Lay off virtual sugar, digitally detox, open the mind… - appreciate interestingness - hang out with geeks - enjoy quietude - get out of a rut - read long form - try three things you’d never, three times each - regain a sense of wonder > And remember, “Boring is as boring does!” This is all rather patronizing and has some major wowthanksimcured vibes. Yes, I can overcome the nonlinearity of the response of my dopamine receptors by simply laying off "virtual sugar" and doing a "digital detox". Bottom line: different people have different neurotypes, and folks are allowed to be bored or stimulated to various degrees by whatever media, without attaching value to how easily one is entertained, or not.
