Acharya Prashant explains that there is a clear and specific reason why society favors extroversion over introversion. He clarifies that this is a recent trend, prevalent only over the last two centuries, and not something that has always been part of mankind. The core reason, he states, is that introversion is dangerous for capitalist consumerism. If a person is content with themselves and enjoys their own company, they will not feel the need to spend a lot of money in the market. To compel people to spend, it becomes necessary for society to look down upon and shame introversion. An extrovert is generally someone who has very little tendency to look at themselves. When you look at yourself, you realize what you truly want, and you cannot be a blind consumer of the society's markets. When you are an extrovert, your gaze is always directed outwards. This outward focus creates a feeling of incompleteness, but without ever knowing what that incompleteness is. Consequently, you try to fill this inner void by going to all the things that appear on the outside and using them. This is extortion. The incompleteness or void that we all feel is a real void that demands real treatment, and its treatment is an inward glance. By looking at this void, you can provide the only cure for it. However, when you have a tendency to not look at yourself but keep looking at others, this void makes you a good consumer. You become the stuff that markets love. All the producers in the world want people who have money and are blind, or as said in Hindi, "blind in the eyes, but with full pockets"—a lot of money with no discretion. The speaker points out that if five people walk into a showroom, a smart salesman will attack the most stupid one, as that person can be made a fool of and sold goods. An introvert is comparatively difficult to fool. This is why the entire media is full of characters that glorify extroversion. The so-called heroes in movies are rarely introverts; the more noisy and stupid a person is, the more fit they are to be a hero. This is a complete nexus; movies are not separate from the supermarket or shopping mall. They glorify reckless consumption, a trend especially noticeable since the Indian economy was liberalized in 1991. They are selling a very dangerous life philosophy that will destroy you.
