Do Relationships Exist? | The Phantasy with a Phantom of AI

Welcome to The Human Petri Dish — the space where we put human behavior, relationships, and culture under the microscope. In today’s episode, we’re exploring Quiet Cracking: what it is, why it’s happening, and what can be done about it. You’ve probably heard of burnout, quiet quitting, or even moral injury — but “quiet cracking” is something different. It’s that subtle, almost invisible breaking point where people stop holding it together, yet carry on as if nothing’s wrong. It’s not dramatic, it’s not loud, but it’s deeply disruptive.   So in this conversation, we’ll ask:   What does it really mean when someone is quietly cracking? Why are so many individuals, teams, and even whole organisations experiencing it right now? And most importantly — what practical steps can we take to notice it, name it, and respond with care? Because in the end, understanding quiet cracking isn’t just about spotting fractures — it’s about learning how to create spaces strong enough to hold human vulnerability, before silence turns into collapse.   

Part 1 | Building Trust-in or Trust-on Relationships? In this episode of The Human Petri Dish, Drew and Jericho take another close look at the building blocks of human connection. This time, the experiment is trust. Do we build relationships on trust, as if it’s the foundation stone? Or do we build relationships designed to hold trust — flexible enough to contain moments of doubt, risk, and repair? Join us as we explore the difference between trust-in and trust-on relationships, and what that means for how we live, love, and work with others.
