The uncomfortablity of one's existence is not an idea many want to think about, so we cacoon ourselves in various ways and created this modern-day living which allows for layers of distraction and removing active thought that could lead to moving you into a mindset where you ponder these things. We're constantly in a state of stimulus and never processing anything

It's like we would rather not exercise and eat healthy we rather want a pill to do it, we would rather do something else than do what is hard. In previous times this sort of thinking got you nowhere but now in our life of convenience, you can still live a life of rewards in the various stimuli and fake rewards without ever having to do anything hard.
