Scott Adams points out a possible link between creativity and boredom. I can see where he’s coming from, in that when you’re bored you’re more likely to think of something creative than when you’re too busy to think, but I’m pretty sure people can be creative even without boredom, at least in the area that they’re already thinking about. Perhaps even more creative without boredom.

But as an introduction to pointing out some curious facts about the world today, it works. And yes, I’m quite familiar with the fact that this is a blog post about another blogger. 😉
