I have to disagree.
We are not the only species, nor are we the first to experience boredom. For instance, when we leave our dogs at home for 8-10 hrs until we get home from school/work. We find a mess. The dogs are bored, thus, they will entertain themselves. Even with outside dogs. If they get bored, they will dig, jump the fence, etc so that they can explore other places besides the yard.
Another example is with monkeys. They are not carnivores, thus they dont hunt per say. They have whole forests to satisfy themselves. But what is there to do in a forest besides eat, sleep, and poop? nothing.
I believe boredom is 100% curable. We create boredom, we didnt create a disease.
If you get tired of watching TV, go outside and play some sports, or join a club, etc. The reason most people are bored is because they grow accustomed to having everything they want. And they dont search for something else to do.
