Boredom is not fatal. Bring it on.


So you're cool with living in extreme poverty because it's not "fatal"? "Bring it on"?

Lots of things that aren't fatal are still very undesirable.


Boredom is so essential to human mental health, that after we automated it away with the industrial revolution, we had to reinvent it (we call it "meditation" now) to stay sane.

Being alone with your thoughts for a few minutes is not in the same class as being unable to afford food or medicine. Get out, troll, this isn't Reddit.
