Boredom is likely a very good indicator of high cognitive capabilities.

It seems quite plausible that "boredom" is a mechanism that is required (or at least useful) for building high cognitive capabilities.

I don't exactly believe in it. I think one can only be bored by external forces, or some irrationality.

External Forces of Boredom would be a nice band name.

Punchline: album after album filled with 12 copies of the same 8 minute drone song.
