Summary
Today we hear why Susie likes asking people uncomfortable questions without people getting offended. We learn about a technology being used to determine the contents of unopened trading card packs so the owner can decide whether to discard them or not, and whether this is an ethics violation of the tradition of collecting. Susie explains why Japan's prisons are showing a huge increase in elderly inmates, and what it says about the country in general. We hear why female nudes in the Renaissance had some anatomical errors. Susie discusses one of her favorite game theories and why people get so angry about the math problem. We debate the influencer lawsuit that is considering whether someone's vibe/aesthetic/style can be protected from "theft" (imitation), and what the ruling will do to the broader influencer industry. We discuss a lawsuit brought by the creator of an outdoor art installation who claims their contract was violated by a museum who dismantled it without consent. Plus, we hear about the new Aaron Hernendez documentary, and how the culture of his high school football team may have led him and two other players down a path of destruction.
