Exactly, our brain is not wired for the centralization of food production and energy production.
Thanks to Globalization everything is being produced in the most convenient location but at what cost? Even for the producers it's not even fathomable that they are feeding the world and providing energy to the world. They understand conceptually but they don't feel it in a limbic way.
Not the same feeling of you hunting down a huge deer and kill it and then bring it back to your village where everybody treats you as a hero because you have provided food for a week.
Everything is super safe and there is a huge margin but at what cost? When everything is super safe it means that there is no room for heroes saving the day anymore.
Some people react to that by going back to the simple life and they find peace in that, some others pursue drugs, the party life etc. some others gaslight people into believing that what they do is as vital and as fundamental as killing a huge deer to procure your village food for a week in time of food scarcity . They hope that if they can convince a whole bunch of people to believe that, they will believe it too.
