I don't know that it does, I believe it mostly takes knowledge of the possibilities to want them. Of course, nobody wants the negative aspects, burnout, depression, obesity etc, but few people need convincing when it's about a car that will help you drive. In fact, I believe that e.g. privacy concerns or an animosity towards "comfort technology" (as in "siri, switch off the lights") is something few people have intuitively. Accepting what makes life easier is the default state.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoIf you take cars as an example the need to move around comfortably is available quite cheaply. What we have got though is an onslaught of marketing encouraging us to thing of a vehicle as part of our identity and status. New tail fins making us think our current model is obsolete. Advertising implying that we aren't a good parent if we don't have a new German car. Product placement telling us suave British spies all drive Aston Martins. The car market is the furthest thing from utility.
- luckylion 7y agoOh certainly, there's plenty of useless differentiators between brands, but it takes little convincing to want a car as a concept. People who don't want cars generally do so because of environmental concerns, not because they don't see a value in comfortably and quickly moving around over long distances, protected from the elements and with the ability to also transport other people or lots of goods.
