  • Anthropocentrism gave rise to boredom, and when anthropomorphism was replaced by technocentrism, boredom became even more profound.

  • For Heidegger, boredom is a privileged fundamental mood because it leads us directly into the very problem complex of being and time.

  • Traditions have been replaced by lifestyles.

  • Animals can be understimulated, but hardly bored.

  • A utopia cannot, by definition, include boredom, but the 'utopia' we are living in is boring.

  • One mood can be replaced by another, but it is impossible to leave attunement altogether. However, profound boredom brings us as close to a state of un-attunement as we can come.
