>brainlet doesn't understand that the point of the observation is to prize idleness itself for its own sake over and above activity as a kind of aesthetic stance, and to invite the reader to imagine the stupidity of boredom itself, and why people/animals engage in activity in the first place (frequently, to escape something bad: war, hunger, a predator...)
>brainlet doesn't understand that the other point of the observation is that, in a sense, the ideal is not to have to strive for anything at all, while at the same time never getting bored. This is the apathetic attitude which he attributes to his anecdotal apes
