Episode notes
Technology is simplifying and infantilizing our interactions by allowing us to cater to our individual needs and avoid complex conversations. This results in the weakening of our relational skills and a superficial sense of connectivity while experiencing modern loneliness. The phenomenon of ghosting and the overwhelming number of relationships to manage are contributing to the breakdown of the social fabric. The hyper-connectivity fostered by technology often masks feelings of loneliness and isolation, as virtual relationships lack genuine support and care in times of need. The redefined terms like followers and community on social media create a sense of belonging without true obligations or norms, reflecting a shift towards religiosity in online interactions.
