I'm not sure how that addresses what I said. Some things are
interesting from the beginning, and some are not. Those that are
interesting at first can lose their interest after a while. When they
lose their interest (or when you lose your interest in them) they
become boring, and you start getting tired of them. Those that are
just plain boring don't tire you unless you are forced to engage with
them for a while, the tiredness comes when your energy is drained from
being forced to do something boring.
