Does it? The only people I know who don't lead a boring life if you look at what they do minute by minute, day by day, are fictional characters in books, movies, etc.
That's why we like entertainment - because it cuts out the boring bits :)
The art part is more interesting. Is there art to someone's life? I'd say yes, but that's because I'm artistic.
If you ask most people, they'll probably be confused by the question. Is your life 'boring art'? 'Huh' is the answer I most expect :)
>I can sympathize with a lot of nihilist outlooks on existence, but just because a lot of these might be true, they're not the only ways you can view your flesh or your place in these patterns, as an animal or as a cog in a machine. There are other elements to existence, like imagination, that is a good example. Emotions are a great vehicle for building your own universe and reality, where your function as an animal or cog in a machine doesn't force you into some rote role that drags you into this stripped down reality of raison d'être being purely utilitarian and unchangeable. You mentioned imagination, but emotions make things real. Does it really matter if your imagined reality isn't concrete or factual? What matters is your happiness, right?
That's like someone who eats a lot of junk food complaining that other food is tasteless. Then people who give it up are surprised to see carrots and milk taste sweet now.
That adrenaline action movie junkies think moment by moment life is boring, doesn't mean it is.
