>When do things become interesting
You read about this here, sometimes: a guy becomes disgusted with porn and quits it, and a couple weeks later finds himself rediscovering the richness of mundane experiences.
So, if you just want to do something simple and reductive, try two weeks of disciplined abstinence, where you're actually having to overcome temptations, and you'll see an improvement.
It's not just porn, of course. Porn is just one example of hyper-reality, a "sexier kind of sex." For some, the simulation ends up replacing the real thing. People see real life violence and it's not like the movies, because the movies have "gorier gore". Fast food is a simulation of the particular elements of food that most stimulate our brains. All of these things train you, like the other anon said, to be the pigeon in the skinner box.
In other words, hyperreality disconnects us from reality, and to some extent, from human dignity. People made jokes about "lockdown? this is how I normally live XD" because technology has reduced their lives to a literal joke. They're going to live and die as pigeons, and write "this was all for nothing XD" on their tombstones because all they have is irony to shield themselves from the horror of it all.
Modern civilization lets us live in perfect satiety for the most part, whereas motivation requires hunger. So get hungry.
