A short YouTube podcast clip (March 8, 2023) featuring Josh Trent and another speaker discussing how modern technology (porn, phones, social media) provides processed/filtered substitutes for real human connection and the neurochemical rewards (e.g., oxytocin) of true connection. The speakers argue that these substitutes fail to deliver genuine reward and that romantic relationships should be approached as a spiritual practice for better health and fulfillment.

Porn is processed sex and social media is processed human connection.
In a way. These phones, they. They trick our minds almost to. To make us feel like we're getting that, but we're fucking not.
You're not getting the reward, the reward of human connection, that reward of oxytocin. Here's the thing about love, is that it's. It's not all Disney movie fun and games. And if we understood it better, we'd actually be a lot healthier. I think. Relationships are a spiritual practice, and if you don't see them that way, you're missing out on something. I know they are, you know?
