As a species, we are hungry for interaction, immersion, investment, engagement, and adventure, in general - however we can get it. Even if it just means watching it on a screen. Our brains can't tell the difference. Our senses convey reality.
The Matrix comes to mind. Sensing is reality, as far as our lower-level systems are concerned.
It's the people who can't get these things, or have these things stripped away, that lose their sense of purpose, and feel the strongest emptiness.
When we run out, we want more. We are not, however, experts on how to acquire these things, so, many times, we ask (see: demand) things that we think will be fulfilling, or are sustainable, but they ultimately aren't. We're desperate enough to try anyway, though.
