Is Technology Killing Our Ability to Connect?
Manage episode 497311275 series 2976633
Have you ever wondered if there's something fundamentally wrong with our world today? In this thought-provoking episode of Pagan Coffee Talk, we tackle this question head-on, revealing that the issue isn't with Earth itself, but with humanity and our increasingly distorted perceptions.
We dive deep into what some might call a "crisis of ego" sweeping across society. Through candid conversation, we explore how digital communication has created a dangerous disconnect between people. When we interact through screens rather than face-to-face, we lose the essential energy exchange that makes us truly human. Even video calls fail to bridge this gap completely, leaving us increasingly isolated despite being more connected than ever before, amplifying our worst tendencies. Everyone believes their opinion matters most and must be heard, leading to heightened emotions and diminished capacity for civil disagreement.
Perhaps most importantly, we discuss how growth requires discomfort—a reality many people actively avoid. From difficult conversations with children to engaging with challenging perspectives, our collective unwillingness to experience discomfort has stunted our development as individuals and as a society. The solution begins with recognizing our shared humanity and focusing on what unites us rather than what divides us.
Join us for this enlightening discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a pagan perspective on humanity's most pressing challenges.
