Surveying our Collective Consciousness in the Time of Covid-19 with Drs. Sylvie Salinger, PhD and Ernest Foster Wallace, PhD

What's up all you beautiful rowdy scoundrels and scandalously salubrious scalawags!
The BNP here, comin' in hot with a mind-melter and horizon-dilator of an ep featuring not one, ladies and gentlemen, but two PhD's together in studio, speaking concurrently but with therapeutic flow and amiable cadence about the current wild and woolly goings on in the world. (By in studio I mean they called in from their undisclosed self-isolation hovel hundreds of miles away. "In studio" is a mindset people, a lifestyle. Nay, a religion. Instudioism. A fine way to live.)
We chat about the sociology of and collective consciousness around Covid-19, from an analysis of American society's reluctance to wear face masks, to the proverbial 'unmasking' (pun intended) of the OG neoconservative think tank figures and pundits who are busily escalating tensions against China. In between, there's a superfluity of topics guaranteed to whet your brain whistle and sate the cosmic yearnings of your crystalline pineal gland.
I also ask Sylvie and Ernest what it was like personally and psychologically when they were teased and ridiculed early on for warning people to get ready and stock up well before anyone was taking it seriously.
Finally, as I'm wont to do, we end on a positive tip, discussing the need for backyard victory gardens and the many benefits to American people we would see if Big Pharma were to be nationalized.
