It would not be boring, as you would not desire excitement. It would not be tasteless, as you would not desire flavour. We would all be perfectly content as we would desire nothing.
This will, of course, never happen, as man is too mired in Maya to ever reach this state, especially on grand scale, but it is a worthwhile exercise in hope.

Would you eat as you don't desire food? Would you recreate as you don't desire children/sex.
Would you get up in the morning, as you have no desire to do anything?
Would you even live, as you have no desire to do so?
