Jenny and Ted discuss Buzz 7.12.

Episode Notes:

• Not what Jenny expected!
• Taylor's not just demanding the other Undersiders agree with her. She's demanding that they agree with her without stopping to think or talk about it
• “They still seem like they could be good people,” we lied
• Not fight an Endbringer? Have you MET Taylor?
• Do any of the Undersiders really know Taylor, after all?
• The power of labels
• Taylor does better with moral compromises when she has a sense of purpose
• Taylor's headspace here is emotional rather than strategic
• The Undersiders probably feel really betrayed right now
• Okay, but Alec is being heinous
• Taylor might be reading too much into Bitch's response
• The Panacea problem and effective altruism
• Brian could have higher standards for himself
• Taylor's been on a real rollercoaster this arc. Too bad it crashed!
• What if...WIldbow is the endbringer??
• Tattletale tries to justify the term “serious kidnapping”
• Oops Jenny was wrong about the odds
• Why does Lisa show up at the end, and what are they communicating to each other?
• Jenny tries to meta her way into Tattletale's character
• Purpose as a temptation
• Taylor's lack of reflection on how she almost sided with this guy
• Jenny speculates on existential horror
• We can't believe the Undersiders also want to fight
• The Endbringer as an easy out
