The Forgotten Art of Being Bored


Sree VijaykumarWe’ve forgotten how to be bored, because we’re in constant search of the next big thing.

But the key to innovation lies hidden in plain sight, if only we knew how to return to it.

Editor's Note: The irony cuts deep: in our rush toward perpetual innovation, we're losing the very condition that makes genuine innovation possible. The breakthrough often comes not from chasing the new but from returning to what we thought we already knew and seeing it again, differently.

Unusual rainfall brings vibrant wildflowers to Chile's Atacama
Unusual rainfall brings vibrant wildflowers to Chile's Atacama
A rare bloom in Chile's Atacama desert has briefly transformed one of the world's driest places into a dazzling carpet of fuchsia-colored wildflowers. The arid region is considered the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. It averages around 2 millimeters or 0.08 inches of rainfall a year. The region was a riot of color this week after unusual downpours throughout the Southern Hemisphere's winter months soaked the desert foothills and highlands. Experts describe 2025 as among the Atacama's wettest in recent years. Some high-elevation borderlands received up to 60 millimeters of rain or 2.3 inches in July and August. Seeds from more than 200 flower species sit in the red and rocky soil of the Atacama Desert all year as they awaited winter rains.
