Economy is run through incentives. Economy is run through capitalising humans evolutionary behaviours, pitfalls of our brain and the blind sports that we have in our brain that we are not aware of.
Businesses, food industry, healthcare industry, pharmaceutical industry policing system, political parties, various systems established to regulate smooth functioning of the society and the economy runs by pushing you towards those behaviours that are not in your best interests but they are definitely good for recycling economy and money flow. Economic systems and businesses run by giving incentives to be not in your best behaviour. The more impulsive and short sighted decisions we make, the better it is for the businesses.
There is no money in permanent fixes and finding root cause of the problem that plague us. There is only money in showing us temporary solutions that gives us quick pleasure but pushes you towards endless loop of become being a repeated customer of any product.
All businesses market the products that pushes you towards behaviour that is not healthy for you in the long run but may give you instant relief or pleasure immediately.
Instead of saying that all the industries are conspiring against you, it is better to say that industries create conditions that drive you away from your good behaviour (like pricing high, difficult to procure, long wait time etc,.) and give incentives to make choices that are not really healthy for us .
The west maturity of the people are casual seekers of information and do not want to be in control of themselves. Many people do not want to take effort to research and become aware of reality. They don’t want to be self-critical and question the status quo. Most people want to be told what to be done, they want to be controlled and being lead by others, they want to be taken care of, and just be done with it.
So majority of the people who need good advice are not getting the good advice. Moreover those kind of people are selectively choosing those advises that confirm their pre-existing biases and beliefs.
