Boredom IS the Meaning of Authentic Life: direct contact with nothingness as a form of Being, as self-awareness (not to be confused with worthlessness).
Problem of Western civilization: intolerance of boredom and of nothingness (example: death).
Overstimulation=direct exposure to life --- leads to desensitization and ultimately to boredom via attunement.
Defenses are "meanings" of a Bad Faith Life: 1. Unconscious 2. Fantasy (incl. religion) 3. Mastery (action) 4. Diversion (entertainment).
We confuse these defenses with meaning but this leads to infinite regression nesting: meaning is dictated by others whose judgment is, in turn, determined by yet others ad infinitum.
When defenses fail, we are bored which is the only healthy state because:
1. It generates action or fantasy
2. Left untouched, inert, it brings enlightenment
We should seek boredom and aspire to it.
