Ep 13 - B*tch of the Week - Social Disconnection and Modern Work Issues

In this episode, we delve into the growing societal detachment and its impact on personal relationships, largely exacerbated by post-COVID behavior. We discuss the universal transformation of friendships into utilitarian relationships and the increasing reliance on virtual interactions. Additional points are explored about the challenges of finding and maintaining stable employment, especially for immigrants, amidst the rise of AI in job recruitment. The conversation also touches on future societal structures if jobs become obsolete, the potential dangers of creating communes, and the broader implications for human connection in a highly isolated modern world.
