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 a fundamental question: Are we truly alone, or is loneliness ultimately an illusion? Do we attract it, or can we overcome it?
From Edgar Allan Poe and Albert Einstein to Osho and Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology at Yale University, the program examines the distinction between loneliness and creative solitude. It explores why modern society feels more disconnected than ever despite unprecedented technological connectivity, and considers what artificial intelligence reveals about one of our deepest human needs: to be truly seen, heard and 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 defining challenges of our time.
