In my country there are people who are still alive who lived during a military dictatorship and I cannot imagine of all things that they would be bored by its resurgence. The ones I hear speaking in the media seem livid if anything.

I could see someone ending their immortal life out of desperation, but boredom? Only if they completely give up on themselves and the world. Even that sounds like a treatable form of depression.

And that's not even bringing up all the technology and arts that advance every day. In the most mundane sense I could think of several franchises I'm constantly waiting on the next entries, without mentioning all that I haven't yet tried and ones that haven't even been invented that I might like.
