I think boredom can lead to creativity. We don’t like being bored so we find a way out of it. If you have that constant dopamine from scrolling it keeps you in that in between state. My best breakthroughs came out of boredom.

based off this, it sounds like most of the great philosophers were probably just bored out of their minds 😂

I absolutely love spacing out and thinking/imagining. Your mind is boundless. How is boredom even possible?
