I feel like they wax too much philosophic without examining the actual content they’re talking about in this one. Don’t get me wrong, I like hearing Liz talk about philosophical implications of technology, but they seriously downplayed the allegations towards MrBeast as an employer and human. Like he’s not a normal boring guy with a special interest, he literally said he hates women, protected actual sex pests in his company, basically pioneered psychological torture as a youtube genre, and he started his philanthropy channel as a way to pre-emptively shield himself from criticism while exploiting the poor for content.

It really did seem like brace just watched the rogan interview and that was it.
I was kinda hyped for this episode but it is definitely one of their weaker ones
