In this thought-provoking episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with Joshua Pauling, co-author of Are We All Cyborgs Now?, about the growing idea that real life is something to escape rather than engage. From AI relationships and digital avatars to the subtle ways technology reshapes how we think, relate, and even define what it means to be human, this conversation goes into all of it! What happens when ease replaces effort, when simulated connection replaces real relationships, and when the friction that forms us is engineered out of everyday life? And what do we lose when reality itself is framed as a privilege? This episode is both a warning and an invitation to step back into the kind of life that builds resilience, depth, and meaning in a world increasingly designed to pull us away from it.
