The Influencer Who Tricked Us & Is There Such Thing As A Genius?
Is anyone ACTUALLY a genius? We discuss some fascinating new commentary on the subject, including what the modern day genius looks like and whether they even exist anymore.
Also, there’s something off about a new viral social media influencer. Does it matter if no-one we’re looking at is human anymore? We've got some thoughts we want to share with the group.
And our recommendations, including the best broccoli you'll ever eat, Em’s surprising cosmic recommendation you need to do today, and a handful of gardening hacks from our veggie patch enthusiast.
