Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why society favors extroversion over introversion, explaining that this is a recent trend from the last two centuries with a very specific reason: introversion is dangerous for capitalist consumerism. He argues that if a person enjoys their own company, they will not spend much money in the market. Therefore, for the market to thrive, it is necessary to look down upon and shame introversion. This societal preference for extroversion is not inherent to mankind but has been cultivated. The speaker defines an extrovert, in this context, as someone with very little tendency to look at themselves, whose gaze is always directed outwards. This outward focus prevents them from recognizing a deep sense of incompleteness within. To fill this inner void, they turn to the external world and become blind consumers, spending money on things offered by the market. This behavior is encouraged because it fuels the consumerist economy. An extrovert becomes the ideal customer for the market: someone with a lot of money but no discretion. The true remedy for this inner void, according to the speaker, is an inward glance—the very essence of introversion. By looking at this inner emptiness, one can find the real treatment. However, the extrovert is conditioned to seek solutions externally. This conditioning is heavily reinforced by the media, which is full of characters that glorify extroversion. Movie heroes are often depicted as noisy, reckless, and consumerist, presenting this as a desirable way of life. The speaker warns that this is not just entertainment but a complete nexus selling a toxic and destructive life philosophy, where media and the market work together to promote extroversion for the sake of consumption.
