    It's not caused by a lack of stimulation in the external world?

    We are constantly being stimulated by the outside world. What matters is what stimulation we create internally-- whether this is augmented by external stimulation or not is moot. You can be bored to tears on the fairway of any fair, or you can be entertained and having fun. Same stimulation, different result.
