Disturbed scents and green foam or white foam materials, that is the first thing that comes to our minds when we mention the word “mold”, and our feelings can be shortened by disgusting and feeling disgusting towards mold.
But how do we go with our consent and rush to deposit layers of mold on our brains? Is it possible for the trivial content that we are exposed daily on the means of communication to be layers of mold in our heads without being aware of that?
Permanent content chases his fans and waste their ages
We live in the time of speed of access to information, the density and abundance of the content, the content that chases its fans and provides itself on a plate of gold.
Where man has become more vulnerable to successive waves of superficial and trivial content, in front of millions of icons, alerts and endless publications, the publications that saturate the soul with passing entertainment are of no benefit from them except to sign time, and with the most correct of the waste of life.
But have we ever asked about the impact of this vulgar content on our depths? Can this endless consumption have negative effects on our minds, which make it a field for an intellectual “rot” process? The term “brain rot” is officially in the Oxford dictionary
The Oxford dictionary included the term “brain rot” in 2024 to describe the negative effects of excessive exposure to the trivial content on the human mind, and according to the definition of Oxford, the term “brain rot” indicates mental or intellectual deterioration caused by excessive consumption of the trivial Internet content.
Critical thinking: a victim of rapid attack
The trivial content, in its essence, is the one that does not provide any real cognitive or intellectual value, and it is satisfied with raising laughter or moving between multiple topics without leaving something meaningful in us.
And when we drown in a sea of ​​superficial publications and ready -made comments, we forget how to cash information, and the mind becomes stuck in the trap of instant motivation, unable to analyze information.
Psychologists note that excessive consumption of this type of content disrupts the brain areas responsible for critical thinking and complex decisions.
Fast pleasure addiction … How does the mind freeze?
We used to do social networking sites for fast pleasure through video clips that take only a few seconds, the exciting news that shocks us and then disappears.
Studies have shown that the brain secretes large quantities of “dopamine” when consuming exciting or satirical content, causing a feeling of temporary pleasure.
Over time, the brain becomes addicted to this type of stimulation that adds nothing but transit entertainment.
This addiction to a quick pleasure makes us move away from mental challenges that require a long mental effort, such as deep reading or critical thinking.
Do we still have the ability to survive?
If the human brain is the most advanced organ in the body, then it needs continuous care and nutrition in order to remain in a state of vitality and recovery.
Just as the body needs good food to strengthen, the mind needs deep ideas and the content that stimulates it to grow.
In the face of the content of content, our responsibility becomes greater in determining what we consume, and searching for knowledge that enriches our minds.
If we do not notice, our mind may go through a slow “rot” process, but it is continuing, in which the mind turns from a living intellectual tool to just a machine looking for a quick pleasure without achieving any real value.
And if we want to survive, we must return to the depth of things, to what we deserve to think about, and to nourish our minds in a way that makes us more aware, more understanding, and more able to interact with the world sincerely and creatively
