Not having any dangers creates existential emptiness, thus all the mass hysterias we have over nothing. For example "

What about economic crime perpetuated on the poor and young through company war games etc. True murders and violent crimes have reduced but we do have DNA testing now. I liked your book and it a while since I read it, how was this accounted for?

I wish to stand corrected on this, but it appears there is a recent escalation in mass shootings in the US since 2008, is there not?
