Transcript

Are We Doomed? looks at big problems. Nobody would rationally want nuclear war. That's not quite correct. How can we add friction? Put the launch codes inside somebody's chest cavity, and you have to kill them to get them out. Are We Doomed? Solving Humanity's Biggest Threats. Part of the NPR Network. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
