Summary

The girlies are joined by friend of the pod P.E. Moskowitz to discuss our collective brain atrophy and the ever-deteriorating state of thinking in our society. The binchies explore the stupidity of it all—how anti-intellectualism is both a tool of fascism and a coping mechanism, why sincerity is frowned upon in the age of constant performance, and how much agency we’re willing to give up in exchange for comfort. Digressions include picky eating as a moral failure, food delivery app psychosis and asking ourselves: is Sabrina Carpenter to blame for it all?
