Evolutionary thing and probably the emotion that most separates us from other animals

>A zoologist who observed gorillas in their native habitat was amazed by the uniformity of their life and their vast idleness. Hours and hours without doing anything. Was boredom unknown to them? This is indeed a question raised by a human, a busy ape. Far from fleeing monotony, animals crave it, and what they most dread is to see it end. For it ends, only to be replaced by fear, the cause of all activity. Inaction is divine; yet it is against inaction that man has rebelled. Man alone, in nature, is incapable of enduring monotony, man alone wants something to happen at all costs — something, anything.... Thereby he shows himself unworthy of his ancestor: the need for novelty is the characteristic of an alienated gorilla.

>Boredom is the catalyst for contemplation and action.
Exactly, which is why it’s such a travesty that entertainment technology has progressed to such a point where it’s practically impossible to be well and truly bored. I was on a long train journey last month and there was a 40-50 year old working class kinda bloke, typical norfman except not from the north. The whole train journey, I mean I’m not joking, for 4 hours straight; he did nothing but perpetually scroll through Tik Tok on his iPhone.

>>18305759
The world is not only hyper stimulated, it is also one of forced fragmentation and isolation
The reason animals and primitive humans are contended in the absence of hyperstimulation, is that they are part of their natural community and environment, and so they are at home in their world
When you shut off your computer, you are alone in a room, in a world where everything is owned by someone else, and it's only a matter of time before they drop the bomb
Boredom is the frantic necessity to get away from the world as it is today
