And part of the problem is that there are these kind of forces that just keep going. It's hard to undo those forces in some way. It's hard to, none of us are going to give up our smartphones and we're going to be perpetually moving towards this kind of global perspective of things, which can be good. There can be ways of trying to embrace that, I think.

But again, the challenge is, as you said, is that we're not really designed for that. We haven't really been prepared for that. And it becomes a real problem for many people. And the statistics you were just talking about bear that out. But maybe there are ways of trying to encourage people. We talk about this in our book.

words can change your brain we've talked about this in some of our other books about religion and spirituality and making that connection so the ability to do that is still there and it's still within us it's a matter of how do we access that and how do we continue to foster that with people and can we find ways of of looking at where the world is now And trying to improve upon that.

And yeah, there's always, every time we make technological advances, there's always pros and there's always cons. I mean, the automobile, it was great. We could get around to places that we weren't able to do before. There were more car accidents and people died because of it. And then it ultimately leads to people being able to work outside of the village and do other things.

There's always these good and the bad that can be part of that.

that but but I think that to me is where neurotheology hopefully can come back into play here where we can say well what are what is going on in our brains what's going on in our brains when we feel that sense of connection what's going on when we don't can we part of what neurotheology to me is also about is to take a systematic approach to things and what I mean by that is is that maybe we need to do more research to try to explore this what are the ways in which we can try to help people

prepare for this better? What are the ways that we can help people try to engage the sense of meaning and purpose more effectively? Obviously, a lot of people can still turn back towards more traditional religions that are there that maybe they came from that they can feel a connection to. And then there's other people who can't.
