> But even if we are one of those rare people who feels fulfilled, it is worth cultivating some degree of boredom, insofar as it provides us with the preconditions to delve more deeply into ourselves, reconnect with the rhythms of nature, and begin and complete highly focused, long and difficult work

I dont know wheather it is fact or FUD, but I have heard that mankinds IQ is sinking? If true, I attribute this to a large extend to the fact that there are so many distractions today that we no longer need to get bored thus deprive us of moments of deep mental immersion.
