The Externalized Self: Have We Lost Ourselves?

In a world of soundbites, algorithms, and endless repetition, have we flattened ourselves to the point of no return? Nietzsche warned of the "last man"—a creature of comfort, stripped of depth and aspiration. Marshall McLuhan saw how every technological extension of ourselves comes with an amputation. Have we externalized so much of our identity, our thinking, our very being, that there’s nothing left inside? In this episode, we explore what it means to reclaim depth in an era of oversimplification—and why resisting the flattening may be the most radical act of all.
