Hi Jan

I took your advice and must confess whilst it was amusing, I could 
relate more closely with some of the comments viz:

I really agree. What is her point? She talks about how important it is 
to be bored, but doesn't articulate why! The talk is all fluff hiding 
(unsuccessfully!) behind her attempts at erudition.

she doesn't need to tell us to get bored. her talk is so profoundly boring!
no evidence, no original ideas, but only some anecdotes and some 
questionable metaphysical theory (if not half a theory).

YMMV
