Mankind, especially Americans in the electronic age, have an endless capacity for distraction. Distraction relieves us of the burden of seriousness, self-examination, seeking meaning and from having to think about any one thing for an extended amount of time.

Pleasure is antithetical to boredom; distraction gives us the illusion of not being bored. Distraction keeps us amused as we squander the distinct qualities that make us human.
