My furnace broke after 15 years. I called a business to fix it. They replaced the dead pump motor and it worked again. The repair guy was paid well and I was happy to pay. What exactly is inherently unethical about this?

That's a difference in kind, not degree. People find watching movies interesting, not making them. They're two completely different experiences.

"What are you excessively curious about — curious to a degree that would bore most other people? That's what you're looking for."

I'm trying to make sense of this question. Usually people think about boredom as a matter of kind, not degree. X subject is either boring or not to most people, to any degree, small or large.

Conceiving of boredom as a matter of degree is counter intuitive. Is this meant to be an insightful nuanced point or am I just high?
