Let's take a closer look at this mechanism. Inside your brain is an enzyme called COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase). Think of it as a cleanup crew that collects used dopamine. Your version of COMT is the Val/Val type—a highly efficient crew that clears dopamine quickly. Because dopamine is swept away fast, the brain is constantly seeking "the next stimulus."
This wiring is what produces a "brain that rejects the status quo." In brains where dopamine lingers longer, there is a natural contentment with the present situation. In your brain, however, the afterglow of any reward fades quickly, and the feeling "things could be better than this" arises spontaneously. This is not a personality choice—it is a trait born from the metabolic speed of your neurotransmitters.
What deserves special attention is your high neuroplasticity. Neural circuits in the brain normally resist change once formed, but your brain has a strong capacity to dismantle old circuits and reassemble them into new ones. This is driven by an active "synaptic clearance" function—a process that tidies up unused neural connections. The ability to destroy and build simultaneously—that is the neurological foundation of your revolutionary nature.
