I'm truly fascinated how human relationships and in particular the human desire to be made whole by a mate is a driving force for human growth an innovation. An alternative title for this episode is "Technology Manufacturing Personhood." It is a question that intersects scientific inquiry, technological growth, theology, christology, and philosophy more generally.
