Today, we're diving into the complexities of modern life, society, politics, and the search for meaning with the insightful and thought-provoking David Pakman. In this compelling conversation, Tom and David explore the disconnection and purposelessness many people feel today, and whether religious practices still hold the key to fulfillment. They tackle a broad range of topics, from the increase in suicides to the role of social media pressures, and the evolving significance of religion in the age of scientific understanding.
