The main topic this time is 'Evolutionary Biology'. John runs through some common misconceptions, and widespread errors of analogies. Merlin candidly admits that he still doesn't really understand what he doesn't understand.

This week we open on John struggling to jump through the hoops to get verified on Twitter. This leads to a discussion of the myriad ways in which abuse thrives unchecked in the absence of decisive action by Twitter-the-company. John excruciates over his now-required bio blurb.

In follow-up, several listeners are thanked and acknowledged, and Good Cop John just can't believe Merlin isn't a more strident and principled critic of "The Popcorn Trick."

Note: Since this episode was recorded, Paramount Vault appears to have pulled the Millennium Actress video from YouTube. Team RecDiffs will update if it reappears.

This is that excellent list of suggestions for dealing with abuse on Twitter that Merlin couldn't remember.

Totally 👋 implausible! 👋
