I wonder what kinds of boredom, unfamiliar to us resource-limited kind, do billionaires suffer from. It seems it’s the same things all over and over again, only on a different scale—probably the closest to the boredom experienced widely in the Culture.

“All science is either physics or stamp collecting.”
-Ernest Rutherford
