Episode notes
Retrial Could Advantage Defense Because Of Tactical Changes
- Charlie Condon thinks a retrial may favor the defense because lawyers can learn from prior tactical mistakes and avoid late technical evidence that swamped jurors.
- He predicts Alex likely won't testify again, removing the damaging kennel audio context that sealed the first verdict.
Sex Recession Is Real And Disproportionately Hits Young Men
- Debra Soh confirms a global "sex recession": developed countries and all adult cohorts report less sex, especially millennials and Gen Z men.
- She cites studies showing one in three men and one in five women had no sex in the past year.
Female Success Raises Partner Standards And Narrows Mate Pool
- Female socioeconomic gains raise partner standards, shrinking the pool of men women find acceptable because of hypergamy and structural biases disadvantaging men.
- Soh links affirmative hiring quotas and programs for women to fewer attractive male candidates meeting status expectations.
