Stop Saying Boredom Is Good for Kids (fast.ai)
3 points by Ariarule 11 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment




Some boredom is good for everybody. "Chronic boredom" is bad for everybody. The two things are not the same.

The whole point of the "boredom is good" realization is that the opposite -- needing to be distracted and entertained every moment of your day -- is also a degenerate condition that is harmful.

Moderation in all things.
