I think once you are features in a guardian article, you arent dull anymore. Building model airplanes in a shed is dull. Being so good at building them that journalists take time to visit you is not.
- chubot 1y agoI don’t think building model airplanes is dull. I’d say doom scrolling and para-social behavior are the modern dull things
- BizarroLand 1y agoThis is pretty true. Brilliance is marked at many levels by not doing what everyone else does, after all. It's also marked by doing what other people do better than they do. Lonerly contrarianism is not a cornerstone of brilliance.

- HamsterDan 1y agoYour standard for dull is too high. Most of the world does not create anything. The mere fact that you're creating something, even if it is an amateurish model airplane, is already cooler than what most of the world does with their free time.
- rxtexit 1y agoI find this perspective just incredibly dull. As if the measure of interesting is the attention of trash, click bait journalists. To me, it is why most people and places have become increasingly dull and monotone over my lifetime. It is like we have developed a society of dull, shitty stage actors, constantly trying to perform 24/7 but there is no audience other than all the other shitty stage actors.
