Value in boredom

It is not clear to me that boredom is a state that reduces Happiness. It does seem like some amount of boredom is valuable for Diffuse Thinking and creative insight.

One can also imagine a world where one is too bored, or too stimulated, and use that to think about what that might mean for the value of each. (It isn’t clear to me).

Also related to the question of if the internet has impacted our wellbeing, since so much of our expanded amusement has come from there.
