Why it’s worth your time

Two men made a public bet about whether the world was running out of resources, and the story of who won is far less interesting than why the argument never ended. Twenty-four minutes that reframe every doom forecast you will read this year.

Listen for this question

What would make you change your mind about the next ten years?

Best way to listen

On a commute, with your own prediction in mind.

After the episode

Write down a prediction with a date, and put a reminder in your calendar.

Who it’s for: Anyone who has an instinct about the future and has never tested it.
