This Sunday, 26 July 2026, at 11:00 Athens time, the English-language program “Infinitely Curious” on Voice of Greece invites listeners on a thought-provoking journey into one of the most universal yet least understood human experiences: loneliness.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, spirituality, and ancient Greek thought, Katerina Batzaki explores the question: Are we truly alone, or is the feeling of loneliness ultimately an illusion? Do we attract loneliness, or can we dispel it?
From Edgar Allan Poe and Albert Einstein to Osho and Yale University psychology professor Paul Bloom, the program explores the difference between loneliness and creative solitude. It considers why modern society feels more disconnected than ever despite unprecedented technological connectivity, and what artificial intelligence reveals about our deepest human need: to be seen, heard, and truly understood.
From ancient Greece and Buddhist monasteries to small villages and today’s digital world, the episode reflects on belonging, empathy, human connection, and even the fear of dying alone, offering a fresh perspective on one of the greatest challenges of our time.
