Stay Tuned with Preet

Procrastination, Polarization & Politics (with Tim Urban)


Listen Later

Tim Urban is the author of the immensely popular blog “Wait But Why.” He writes about things like artificial intelligence, human psychology, relationships, and other topics that pique his curiosity. Preet speaks with Urban about what happens when we procrastinate, and the social consequences of political tribalism. 


Plus, a new ruling from US District Judge David Carter that attorney-client privilege can't protect certain communications between Donald Trump and John Eastman. And, newly-released White House documents show a seven hour gap in Trump’s January 6th phone logs. 


In the Insider bonus, Urban tells Preet why he thinks artificial intelligence is a more existential issue than climate change.
