“The science is a Trojan horse for so much late Gen X/Millennial navel-gazing driven by a disability-as-identity subjectivity. Worse still, McArthur uses his own son — a vulnerable, young, child with very real health concerns — as a “motivation” to make a podcast. (That alone makes this project ethically dubious at best.) And when that’s not enough, he trots out his own health issues and neuroses all of which come across as a broken ego’s need for attention and validation. It’s a shame because the remarkable research and science happening now around aging and the ethical and moral conversations that need to flow from them are captivating all on their own. This is not a science podcast. It’s omphaloskeptic drivel at it most annoying.”
