Part 9/10:
Reflection on Society’s Collective Anxiety
Ultimately, the show reflects on a society wrestling with lingering fears, cultural trends, and commercial interests. The obsession with safety, coupled with a desire for normalcy—like attending concerts or movies—creates a peculiar tension. The host suggests that societal values have shifted so drastically that people would prefer sterile environments for leisure, possibly even risking their mental health or social lives.
He summarizes that these behaviors—wearing masks at concerts, renting theaters to watch movies—are signs of collective anxiety, reinforced by media, politics, and commercial interests.
