Boredom is not a problem to be solved, it's the privilege of a free mind

I think she is using the term boredom in a somewhat misguided way. In fact it seems like he is really talking about something else — laziness.

Boredom is to literally not know what to do because nothing excites you.

What she is talking about is that we have become so lazy that instead of taking up a hobby we just end up using cellphones to kill time. Which i would agree with but it's a quite different point.

I was looking for a definition of "boredom" that I agree with and "literally not know[ing] what to do because nothing excites you" is the one I most agree with and is the most succinct.

I could replace "excites" with "interests", "relaxes" or some other state changing term.
