Jonathan Williams discusses the digital world's rapid expansion, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it often comes at the expense of empathetic communication. He explores this critical issue and proposes ways forward.

A data scientist and human behavior researcher, Jonathan focuses on empathy, intelligence theory, and analytical psychology. He authored "A Complete Human," a guide to integrating repressed childhood traits. With a background in Mathematics & Statistics from UConn, his research bridges psychology and data science to understand social behavior and generational myopia.

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).
