Boredom has been destroying joy since the beginning of time. But is also the mother of invention.
So I propose a role for clinical psychologists and the medical profession.
prescribe activities to human beings to make them less bored.
Study the psyche and what makes a person tick, use evidence from other people to provide precedent. (People who are miserable and like science fiction are likely to like X)
There we go, that's the idea.-- chronological, Nov 16 2020 If the intent is to encourage innovation, the objective should be to make people more bored, shirley ?-- 8th of 7, Nov 16 2020 My big brother told me when I was a bored pre-teen that boredom was nothing more than the lack of inner resources.

Obvious intent: Correcting allegedly incorrect grammar.

Pick the one you like best.-- 8th of 7, Nov 17 2020 Do we get to do the Voldemort Dark Mark thing, too ?-- 8th of 7, Nov 17 2020 Don't be so negative, 8th. I think it's cute that girls can sometimes get degrees now. And it shows all the nay-sayers that affirmative action _does_ work.-- spidermother, Nov 18 2020 yawn-- pashute, Nov 18 2020 And then I read the annotations. (Was something deleted here in between the 8ths?)-- pashute, Nov 18 2020 Yes, [kdf] killed a few annos, but we have them logged if you want them back. Mainly about filling skulls with snakes.-- 8th of 7, Nov 18 2020 //Not important enough for me// One maybe, a few ... a parasomnial problem?-- wjt, Nov 21 2020 random, halfbakery
