19 Feb 2020
The creator of the wildly popular blog Wait But Why and one of the most watched TED speakers ever, APB speaker Tim Urban recently joined Ezra Klein on his podcast to discuss how our current technological advancements and political situation will impact our future.

Then, on the 500th page, we’ve crossed the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7-billion-person threshold.” Through metaphor, Urban explains that we, as human beings, have advanced at a rapid speed and need to be prepared for a variety of outcomes, whether good or bad.
