The Future of Transportation
"I think once we have it, it'll become like, almost gross to be eating real much," he says of artificial meat. "It's just, it's huge. It's just kind of albatross." He thinks flying cars are a step in the right direction but that they face hurdles with noise and safety.
Tim Urban is the Author of the blog "Wait But Why" and has one of the most listened-to Ted talks of all time. His work covers a broad range of topics from why we procrastinate, to how much time we have left with our parents, to breaking down the US involvement in the Iraq war. In this episode, Logan and Tim dive into some of the ideas that Tim has written about, as well as newer topics like the role AI will play in social relationships and how genetic engineering could impact the human lifespan.
