Episode notes

The author of a new book on the future of flying cars says there are ways we can all help bring it forward. Sos is far from an expert, but he has some ideas about how to make this happen. He suggests putting money into nuclear power instead of building more ground-to-air vehicles. And if you were in charge of allocating ten billion dollars in philanthropy with no restrictions, where would you put it? I would have the biggest yacht you ever saw in your life.
