Dopey or just Dopamine?

Ever thought about what happens when we just do the same thing repetitively? Well, as far as I know, such activity causes a release of dopamine. Now it is believed that this neurotransmitter(brain chemical) is involved in addictive behaviours - it makes us feel good. I get this from all sorts of thigs that I do, watching TV, playing starcraft, and yes, even editing the boring waveforms that represent computer audio files. With this system of encouraging me to do the same thing, my life begins to lack variety and intellectual stimulation.

If we consider that the individual functional unit of the brain is the neuron. It is their connections that keeps the brain working. These connections will deteriorate through time if not activated. So the parts of the brain that I don't use will become non-functional. I will become a TV watching, Starcraft playing and music editing robot while too dopey to accomplish the many everyday tasks of a human being.

Hope none of you face the same doom. Experience variety in your lives, try something new, do something you don't want to, and enjoy being alive, not dopey.
