In this episode of The Future Self Data Set, I dive deep into the heart of connection - what it means, how I nurture it, and where I have been yearning for more. From navigating loneliness to exploring the potentials of my coming relationship to my digital clone, I reflect on what it could mean to feel truly connected in the age of AI.

I share personal anecdotes on healthy relating, the neuroscience behind spiritual experiences, and the unexpected ways dating has evolved in my journey as a trans man. I also touch on navigating intimacy and boundaries in friendship — and how these journeys have ultimately invited me to connect with something bigger than myself: God.

In a moment of raw vulnerability, I invite you into my prayer for greater empathy, compassion, and ascension as we navigate this profound (and sometimes lonely) world together. This episode is about more than just technology; it’s about the essence of being human in a future that's already here.
