Episode notes
Getty's Loneliness
- John Paul Getty, the richest man in his time, died alone in his palace.
- This illustrates the loneliness of radical individualism despite material wealth.
Loneliness and Spirituality
- Loneliness is a fundamental part of the human condition, stemming from our relational nature and separation from God.
- It can be a pathway to seeking God, the one who is truly looking for us.

- This is despite increased connectivity through technology, which creates an illusion of community.
