    Normalize TLDR’s on bot posts. TLDR: A bit generic but truthful observation that the constant availability of attention-optimized media drives hedonstitic consumption, replacing boredom, suppressing the creative drive.

    Personal commentary: I believe that the plummeting fertility in Westernized societies is, at least in part, also due to the absence of boredom, too. Making time to search for, care for, and pleasure a partner can all derive from a lack of other stimuli.
