In this week's episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, we dive into the complexities of human connection in our hyper-connected world. Despite billions of people on the planet, our capacity for empathy is limited by our natural design to thrive in small communities. Fawn shares personal experiences that highlight the challenges of modern-day compassion, including the overwhelming influence of social media. The discussion explores how the emotional manipulation of algorithms, echo chambers, and the loneliness epidemic are shaping our sense of self-worth and relationships. Join us as we uncover ways to navigate these challenges, protect our empathy, and reconnect with our true humanity.
