👉 In the opening segment, we discuss the article published in Nature Journal entitled "The impact of digital media on children’s intelligence while controlling for genetic differences in cognition and socioeconomic background." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it talks about quite an interesting aspect of child development, namely the effect of digital media exposure on children's intelligence. We discuss the implications for the future of AI and the contrast with past methods of learning before the emergence of the internet.

👉 In the main segment, we discuss Jean Paul Sartre's "The Wall" ("Le Mur" in the original french). It is considered one his most noteworthy existentialist works of fiction. In the episode, we discuss the first short story, which shares its name with the book, and the psychological progression of the characters. The main theme of the story is the immense barrier between life and death, hence "The Wall".
