Mundane Doom!
Even here in the Ipower live chat conversations gravitate towards the mundane. Please don't take offense, it happens everywhere I look unfortunately. I remember trying to tell the story "Allegory Of The Cave" with my girlfriend and her friends, when I was quickly cut off so they could continue talking about new purses. Mind you I wasn't the only guy there.
So if Neuroplasticity tells us that what we think and feel is changing and shaping our neurons, then leaning towards the boring and mundane is only creating a stronger connection for those same thoughts and feelings right?
I hope this makes you think at least a little. The picture attached is what the mundane neuron connections look like. Until the next time have a great one.

You got it right, Neuroplasticity happens on both sides, it has Positive but also Negative impacts.
One can recover from a brain or organ injury by transposing a brain function to another body part. Some success were made by teaching someone with a permanent Labyrinthitis (loosing to ability to stabilize yourself) by using an electronic level with an electrical output been transported to the surface on the tongue and the brain learned to deal with gravity and displacement by using the tongue instead of the ear labyrinth due to it's malfunction.
On the other hand, a common issue occurs when someones brain adapts to a negative behavior. For example, a lot of elderly person learn to rely on their eyes watching their feet to walk instead of looking forward and use their brain to predict and overcome any obstacle. Instead they just walk through it and as they lift their eyes and head to see, they just tilt forward and fall down because they lost sens of the common gravity plane which is their field of view and not their Labyrinth anymore.
So you can transpose those 2 conditions in any life experience and see how someone can change their brain in any aspects, positively and negatively.

The first step to non-mundane neuron connections.
But for serious... This kind of scares me. If this is the way we are heading, I think you titled the post correctly, "DOOM". I for one couldn't handle a truly mundane world/life. It's up to us to make sure we exercise the creative parts of the brain, so as to not become lifeless robots.
I say we give the arts higher priority in schools!! (I wish)

They should encourage more arts in school rather then spending the time focusing on conditioning. I was blessed to have all sorts of arts and creative classes growing up, but I see them cutting more and more everyday.
