Episode notes
Empathy School As Control By Another Name
- Lumen's 'School of Empathy' likely removes true empathy while framing control as compassion.
- Naming and rhetoric invert function, echoing dystopian doublespeak like 1984's ministries.

- Repeated water tower shots suggest it's an operational piece, possibly a signal or antenna sustaining severed states.
- The tower might explain why severed people don't travel far from Keir.

- Hosts explore Milchick's complexity: once a true believer now showing cracks under Lumon's pressure.
- They argue Milchick isn't yet an ally but may gradually turn against Lumon.
