Despair exists because there's tremendous demand for despair.
Consider two dead-end towns. Imagine, instead of getting insanely fat and dying of depression, they declared war on each other. About the same numbers are dying, but now there's stakes, investment, strategy. It's absolutely not boring anymore. Not to mention there's emotional investment and hierarchy.
And there's you go. Hierarchy. That's why they won't do it.
They could band together to defraud the welfare system to fund the most glorious war possible.
They don't have to have a war. They could have any number of nonlethal competitions. They could compete to build the best replica of the Egyptian pyramids. If you have free time, then you have the one thing you need to generate literally anything else: free time. There's no such thing as too much free time.
They're boring themselves to death because they want and deserve to bore themselves to death. Their lack of energy and drive is the cause of the alleged despair, not the effect. They literally can't muster up the energy to go on living; it's profane to try to 'fix' this horrible vice.
