So nice theories, but are there any studies made to back this up? I see no mention of any kind of science here.

Isn't it possible that science is, occasionally, the problem, not the solution?

What experiment would you perform? To falsify what hypothesis?

Science isn't a problem or a solution, it's the search for the truth.

Strictly, for knowledge, which isn't the same thing as truth.

"Science" really shouldn't ever be the problem. The problem is that people are bad at science. They draw incorrect inferences, they get tunnel vision on a set of results, they overgeneralizw results, they make bad assumptions...

That said, I don't really think itd be a good use of time proving that boredom can be good.
