While I suspect that life is better with more amusement, this doesn’t feel obvious by itself. There are accounts of folks in Native American societies fleeing assimilation into Colonial society, while it does not seem many, if any, colonials who assimilated to Native American society attempted to flee (from discussion with John Fate Faherty). Not to mention the fact that we do think some Value in boredom, and more important is our ultimate goal of Happiness.
