Ask Dad - The Cost of Convenience: Are We Losing Real Connection?
Manage episode 498209687 series 3580060
When did connection become something we download instead of develop? In a culture that rewards convenience and avoids vulnerability, even relationships are getting an AI upgrade. This week on Ask Dad, we dive into the rise of artificial companionship—why some are turning to chatbot “girlfriends” and what it reveals about our collective discomfort with being seen, heard, and truly known.
We’ll also unpack the quiet courage it takes to pursue real connection in a world full of judgment and fear—especially when it means putting your heart on the line where others can see it (like… the workplace).
So, are we chasing connection—or just avoiding rejection? Let’s talk about what happens when love gets too easy, and why the best relationships are still the messy, human kind.
The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.
