So if I'm understanding this right our brains are seeing modern society and all it's daily trappings as a bad bet and a losing proposition and so tells us that it's a good idea to nope out of the situation in any way possible.
This makes a lot of sense.

No, I think it’s that brain is always analyzing various choices. For example, if I’m looking at a restaurant menu and craving pizza, my brain might ponder, What if I get a burger? It doesn’t mean I secretly want a burger, or that pizza is harmful; it’s just a thing that happens.
