Q: Our fast-paced way of living and modern technology have decreased our ability to do this. What is it?
A: To be bored and creative.
Where there is no boredom, there can be no reflection. Where there is no pause, there can be no real choice.
Heidegger’s “forgetting of being” now manifests as the loss of boredom itself. What we forfeit is the capacity for sustained reflection.
