I like the take on ditching 'conventionally' fun activities and trusting your own internal guidance. However, I do think it's incredibly useful and important to learn to sit with boredom. If we don't, then we're just hedonists constantly running after the next blip of pleasurable sensations. Is the point you make explicitly for media consumption?

Learn to sit with boredom if that's fun for you. The same way a dedicated athlete enjoys pushing themselves in ways that makes their friends cringe, a dedicated meditator enjoys mastering their concentration by sitting with boredom. Doing hard things is fun! But not if you're doing it because of a misplaced sense of duty to someone else's ideal.
