Episode 27
Saturday, 13 December, 2025
In this episode of From78, I reflect on how place and technology shape the way we experience time and connection. Recording from my office before a day of clinical work, I think about the privilege of listening, the importance of “regular” places where relationships once accumulated, and how those spaces seem increasingly rare.Rather than simply criticizing technology, I explore a more balanced view—drawing on Marc Weidenbaum’s idea of being “digitally cozy”: staying engaged with books, walks, art, meals, and family while dialing back the constant churn of short-term online conversations.I also reflect on how meaningful relationships can form entirely through technologically mediated means, setting the stage for an upcoming interview that continues this conversation.00:32 Introduction and Reflections on Being a Psychoanalyst02:16 Exploring the Concept of Place06:34 Technology’s Role in Social Interaction07:33 Insights from Disquiet.com11:53 Balancing Technology and Real Life16:44 Upcoming Interview and Conclusion
