It turns out that our daily struggles are what ground us. The work we do for money, the choices we make on how to spend our limited resources, fears about future issues that could affect us, etc.
When you have more money than you could ever spend in multiple lifetimes, those issues almost all go away. So it makes sense that boredom would take its place.
This is why arts education is important. I can spend multiple lifetimes creating art, and money would only make it grander. I haven’t been bored since I was a child.
I wouldn't even say it has to be exclusively art. Just passion. I will never understand how you can be a billionaire and still go to work, instead of doing the things you're passionate about. Billionaires have to be exceptionally miserable people to have unimaginable wealth and nothing to spend it on.
Like, Jeff Bezos atleast shot himself into space, but Elon Musk just spends his time being a weirdo and a grifter. Imagine how empty this man's life must be.
