Norway is a perfect example of that. It's a very egalitarian country who tries to avoid any inconveniences as much as possible.I think people are also expecting their interactions with other people to be as "perfect" as possible.
Everything in our life is now being tailored to stimulate us as much as possible:
- Video games went from "Pong and Pac man" to Call of Duty
- Food went from a chicken and rice to 4 cheese mac and cheese with bacon.
Obviously there's nothing wrong with these on the surface level, but people are now able to avoid discomfort, and in a way we need to artificially add it back into our lives for our own benefit.
- Social interactions used to be unavoidable, but now if you don't like someone you can just block them to make sure you're not uncomfortable at any time!
