Summary
Patrick opens with a frank discussion on how technology and social media reshape relationships, delaying family life and changing old traditions like school dances, as he wonders aloud about the pressures weighing on today’s youth. Callers bring up everything from biblical analogies and the emotional pull of spiritual experiences to Pope John Paul II’s quiet influence on the fall of the Soviet Union, who would Jesus vote for, and even the morality of shopping at Costco.
- Audio: Guy explains why the birthrate is declining – it’s social media and technology – 2min - https://x.com/alphafox/status/2050221203755843709?s=20 (00:20)

- David – If you are attending a protestant funeral, you should pray for his soul because no one else will. (12:52)
- James (email) - Did your Mormon professor happen to mention where his bodily feeling was? (20:09)
- Debbie (email) - It makes sense to me that no one should be photographed or videoed without permission. Manners have not kept pace with technology. (21:36)
- Carl - What did JPII do to help break the Soviet Union? What was his role? (27:11)

- Tiffany - I heard Costco is involved with IVF, so I canceled my membership, but I'm realizing we need those discounts as a family. What do we do? (47:37)

| 0:26.6 | Do you know how hard you need to abuse a mammal to make them not have children? |
| 0:30.6 | Like for real. |
| 0:32.6 | Let's step here back a moment, right? |
| 0:34.6 | You ever thought of it that way. |
| 0:35.6 | Yeah, look, GDP goes up. People have enough food, you know, and whatever. No one's having kids. And this is across the world. This is across both the West, the East, you know, everywhere it's happening. So there's a thing that happened, especially with younger, like, even younger than me. Like, the kids are like 18 today.

If you're an 18-year-old kid, you go to a club, you get recorded. If you approach a girl and you mess it up, you get recorded. Everything is the panoptic on now.

| 1:26.4 | all of our, you know, or interpersonal |
| 1:27.8 | norms, to tech companies without our consent to optimize their ad algorithms. |
| 1:32.3 | I think there's a deep thing where we as a society have not dealt with the fact that we have |

| 1:40.8 | Everyone can do whatever they want, you know. Oh, just sell all of our younger generations dating lives to corporations for profit. |
