as a longtime McMegan watcher she has a sort of self imposed dimly malicious stupidity that is impossible to come by naturally. normal brains don’t get like that
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.
Feb 5, 2026 22:23There's an old Justice League comic where the JL is trapped in a maze created by the Joker and Martian Manhunter has to change his brain to be like the Joker's to escape.
I feel like we're watching McMegan do this live here, but for creep billionaire flattery.
