Even my dog gets tired of eating the same feed all the time or playing with the same toy. It gets excited when I bring new toy and is much more eager to eat when I switch feed to a different type from time to time.
I don’t have a TV so my dog is not watching ads so I expect marketing does not affect it.
Might still be that other dogs it plays with tell stuff “I got a new toy, get your owner to buy you new one too”.
I think it is innate property of living things to need different things/experiences and what not in order to survive/thrive.
- rrgok 4y agoI've been thinking about boredom and the need for change for a long time. My hypothesis is that boredom is the baseline of life. From this basis, I feel like whatever we may do we will inevitably come back to boredom: again, the dog chasing his own tail. Wouldn't be better to live with boredom instead of having the illusion of escaping it from it now and then?
