Modern Wisdom

CHAPTER

The War on Relationships

This chapter explores how societal trends, exacerbated by the pandemic, are undermining organic connections and prioritizing mediated interactions over genuine relationships. It critiques the reductionist view of technology as a solution to deep-rooted human issues, while discussing the complexities of modern courtship and the implications of eroding traditional gender roles. The chapter raises concerns about how these societal shifts may lead to unintended consequences, including increased vulnerability for individuals and the challenges posed by differing gender expectations.
