How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? you make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting there physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a Tv show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are left behind.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy , human selves, wouldn't be good for businesses.
