Another so-so episode with some questionable guests. Johann Hari, a guy who has repeatedly been found to have a rather casual relationship with the truth and accuracy, is not a great choice imo and he spoke far too much. Katherine Mangu-Ward was decent and while it was a bit of a cheap shot she made about older people struggling with societal changes, Bill's counter about "other countries would respect elders as being more intelligent" is a bullshit stereotype. Just because you've managed to reach your 70s doesn't automatically mean you know stuff and are more intelligent; there are plenty of ignorant af pensioners - just look at Trump, for starters.
