ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Tim Urban, creator of Wait But Why and the mind behind one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, joins us to talk about why progress does not happen automatically.
In this episode, he discusses the Space Race, longevity, AI safety, startup cities, and the social conditions that allow new ideas to survive. Tim explains why some technologies move fast while others stall for decades, why the best communities treat ideas like experiments, and why the future may depend less on prediction and more on building better environments for progress.
