We Define Boredom As The Pain A Person Feels When He's Doing Nothing Or Something Irrelevant, Instead Of Something He Wants To Do But Won't, Can't, Or Doesn't Dare. Boredom Is Acute When He Knows The Other Thing And Inhibits His Action, E.g., Out Of Politeness, Embarrassment, Fear Of Punishment Or Shame. Boredom Is Chronic If He Has Repressed The Thought Of It And No Longer Is Aware Of It. A Large Part Of Stupidity Is Just The Chronic Boredom, For A Person Can't Learn, Or Be Intelligent About, What He's Not Interested In, When His Repressed Thoughts Are Elsewhere.

That Child May Soon Cease To Watch Television Or Go To The Movies, Nor Will He Eventually Read Book-of-the-month Club Selections, Because They Are Ludicrous And Dull. As A Young Man, Then, He Will Effectually Be Excluded From All Of Madison Avenue And Hollywood And Most Of Publishing, Because What Moves Him Or What He Creates Is Quite Irrelevant To What Is Going On: It Is Too Fine. His Father Has Brought Him Up As A Dodo.
