I was very interested in the Partiful and Palantir connections but Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay are probably the dumbest & most annoying posers in podcasting. The omg like totally contrived valley girl speak is beyond unlistenable.

Impossible to take McWorter seriously after he said he couldn’t teach “4:33” because it was too noisy outside, exposing himself as both an intellectual charlatan and an advocate for the repression of free speech in one fell swoop.
