As far as I can tell, boredom & creativity are mutually exclusive, which is why it’s such a tragedy that children are made to spend much of their time generating loveless facsimiles of ideas & works that were loved by the people who first offered them — often also in their youthhttps://twitter.com/daviddeutschoxf/status/1001178199986987008 …

Boredom and creativity mutually exclusive? Oh I don't agree at all. I think that boredom - not being entertained by an external source - creates space in one's mind to BE creative. You will NEVER be creative while watching a video.
Boredom is orthogonal to the source of focus, and the idea that there are good & bad mediums for information is a huge red herring. Can you be creative while reading a book? Why not while watching a film?

Space to think — to think *interesting* thoughts — is obviously vital, but you can bring that to the gaps in whatever experience you’re consuming. This is really what it means to be engaged. It’s just as crucial as the dedicated time for thought; the two assist one another

Reading books and watching films are creative acts. One has to interpret (and visualise if reading) the meanings of the story, which ultimately requires guesswork (arguably a foundation for creative conjecture). Some stories are harder to interpret than others though.
