This one is deep. An author from TheGrio, Touré, discusses a challenging conversation with his 15-year-old son. His son claims that having children is immoral due to the world's impending doom and the inherent pain of existence. Touré grapples with his son's perspective, contrasting it with his wife's traumatic childhood experiences and his own generational anxieties about nuclear war. Ultimately, he validates his son's feelings but doesn't apologize for having him, finding common ground by sharing that many others resonate with similar sentiments.
It's a very moving episode.
