Boredom is a skill nobody is allowed to practise anymore
The last time I was properly bored — no input, no scroll, just a wall and time — I had three ideas I still use. I do not think that is a coincidence, and I do not think it is mystical either. Boredom is just the state where your mind stops consuming and starts sorting. We have made that state almost impossible to reach by accident. Now you have to schedule it, which is ridiculous, so I have scheduled it.
