The Patrick Madrid Show: November 12, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick questions what happens to meaning, purpose, and the human soul when AI and robotics perform nearly every task faster and better than people. He blends concerns over skills lost and spiritual emptiness with a Catholic perspective, weaving together listener calls about technology, and the enduring search for fulfillment as machines reshape daily life. Unexpected juxtapositions of futuristic dread and faith-driven hope spark reflection on what actually grounds humanity.
