Are Our Young People Getting More Delusional?
Summary
Armstrong and Getty critique a "gonzo journalist" who exposed a young activist’s absurd views on prison abolition and rape, mocking her suggestion to "free yourself from the prison in your heart." The hosts then debate the ethics of an influencer who filmed a married lawyer making out with a junior colleague in a park, causing the lawyer to lose a job offer. They discuss the tension between public privacy rights and the moral implications of recording and posting such footage for profit.
