Humans Cannot Survive The Internet
Summary
Armstrong and Getty analyze the Lindsay Clancy trial, debating her postpartum psychosis defense and the "mamosphere's" supportive reaction on social media. They discuss how online algorithms amplify extreme views, contrasting this with the "manosphere," and critique young women’s reliance on TikTok for self-diagnosing mental health issues. The hosts also mock Bernie Sanders’ decades-long warnings about oligarchy and condemn leftist influencer Hasan Piker for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death and using racial slurs.
