Jordan Peterson highlights the societal problem of the 15% of the population with an IQ below 85, for whom there are few viable jobs in a high-tech economy. The hosts discuss how automation and smartphone algorithms are "setting people up to fail." They describe the modern world as a "gauntlet" or "thresher" designed to cull those who cannot keep up with the increasing demand for cognitive power.
The hosts discuss their current living situations during the April 2020 pandemic lockdowns. One host describes managing children's screen time and obsessive behavior while stuck at home. A technical delay for the episode is attributed to a router failure and ISP issues, leading to a brief discussion about reverting to physical media like DVDs and Redbox during internet outages.
