Is the Future Too Bleak to Have Babies? with Cleo Abram
About this episode
Is the world terrible, or does the news just make it feel that way? And what does the future look like? Will robots take my job? Will AI replace me? Will artificial wombs carry my kids?
Nayeema talks to Cleo Abram, a YouTuber who peers into the future in her show "Huge If True." They discuss babymaking in a world where fertility rates are plummeting and where over millennials and Gen Z increasingly cite climate change and the state of the world as reasons they're not having kids. Also on the agenda: aliens and quantum computers.
