Are you in a parasocial relationship with this week’s guest? Or with us? You’re probably not alone! YouTuber (or video essayist, pick your poison) and ex-philosopher Natalie Wynn, known by most as ContraPoints, joins us to d*ke out about our strange digital relationships. Sometimes it’s angry people hiding behind anime avatars. Other times, it’s people you’ve never met inviting you to their wedding. And if you’re lucky, it’s really great folks in your audience who you enjoy getting to know and maybe become friends with! Also, we touch on the power of crystals, and Natalie has the best answer to our new final question.
