Really, what you should see when you look at those guys, these black guys, posted up on street corners selling drugs with um guns in their waistband, really what you should see is fear that those men are afraid because they live in a society. There's just very little safety for them.
Imagine a world where friendships are replaced by TV shows, video games, and even podcasts. In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', host Joakim Eriksson takes a deep dive into the modern substitutes for genuine human connections. The discussion ranges from the comfort we find in television and Twitch streams to the surprising ways we use technology to fill the void of real friendships. Are we cocooning ourselves away from the world?
Joakim thinks so, and he’s got some watermelon-flavored sparkling water to keep things fresh as he unpacks these ideas. The episode features tastings of watermelon drinks from Good & Gather, La Croix, and a strawberry-watermelon protein water from Fizzique. As Joakim sips and chats, he explores the fear of loneliness, the impact of monogamy on friendships, and how our tech-driven lives have changed the way we connect with others.
If you've ever felt like your screen time is replacing face time, this episode will hit home. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges you to rethink your relationships and the role technology plays in them.
