Tbh, I don't know why we don't find joy in boring(ness) or being ordinary. Like 90%, even mpre, of our lives are surrounded by it. Especially in this fast-paced world, where everything is just a click away. I still prefer to stay bored rather than pretending to enjoy or be enthusiastic about an event or act. Recently, the Eid celebration gave the same vibes. Everyone just pretend that it's that part of the year, so we are supposed to be happy. Otherwise, we are just committing a major sin.
Moreover, Roald Dahl might say that the world has changed its toys, but not its nature. The endless scroll of modern content such as reels, constant stimulation might feel to him like a thief of that inner world. He might also hate the concept of absurd trendism - everyone just following one specific trend. Why? Because I saw it on an insta reel. But yes, we all are independent, without independent thinking of our own.
