We cannot go back to V1 (true scarcity). The internet exists. However, we can downgrade our operating system. Here is the Bordem V2 Protocol.
According to Predictive Processing (Friston, 2010), the brain minimizes free energy by predicting sensory input. Boredom V2 arises when:
Agency paralysis occurs when the agent cannot form a precise action plan that promises epistemic value (reduction of uncertainty about what matters) or pragmatic value (achievement of a desired state). Boredom is the metacognitive alarm that one’s current policy set is failing.
Introduction “bordem v2” (hereafter Bv2) is a sequel/iteration of an earlier tool/concept named “bordem.” This column examines Bv2 across purpose, design, performance, user experience, and strategic fit, then offers verdict and recommendations. I assume Bv2 is a software product or feature; if it’s a different medium (hardware, artwork, game), the core evaluation framework still applies.
Verdict (concise) Bv2 succeeds when it thoughtfully addresses prior friction, simplifies the user journey, and improves technical robustness without overloading users with marginal features. It fails when it prioritizes new bells and whistles over stable performance, clear positioning, and accessible UX.
Recommendations (actionable)
If you want, I can convert this into a 700–900 word column with a tighter narrative voice and examples from product releases, or tailor the evaluation to a specific industry (SaaS, mobile app, developer tool, game). Which would you prefer?

Classic psychological literature (e.g., Eastwood et al., 2012; Vodanovich, 2003) defines state boredom as “the aversive experience of wanting, but being unable, to engage in satisfying activity.” This Boredom V1 framework rests on three implicit assumptions:
Yet, empirical anomalies abound. People report intense boredom while doom-scrolling through infinite novel content. They feel bored in hyper-stimulating environments (open-plan offices, social media feeds). Furthermore, high-arousal boredom—restlessness, irritability, a frantic search for escape—contradicts the low-arousal model. Boredom V2 emerges precisely from these contradictions.
Thesis: Boredom is not a lack of stimuli but a mismatch between the predictive depth expected by the cognitive system and the shallow affordances available for meaningful action. Agency paralysis occurs when the agent cannot form
