650: Summer of Blood
Selfie Culture, Smartphone Addiction, Female Psychology
The rise of "selfie culture" is characterized as a psychological affliction predominantly affecting young women, driven by the feedback loops of Instagram and Facebook. References are made to Kate Bush and Louis C.K. criticizing the way audiences now experience life through smartphone screens rather than direct observation. The hosts suggest that societal pressure and unrealistic beauty standards in magazines contribute to this "zombie-like" state.
