Episode Twenty-Eight - ”Does Safety Make Us Safe?”

Where do babies come from?

Okay... when a Helicopter Dad meets a Tiger Mom and they love each other very very much and when they kiss and their bodies figure out from pheromones and saliva that their offspring would be more resistant to disease...

Blah blah blah they have a baby! 
A baby that's safer than they are. And we've been doing this for eons & getting even more serious about safety in the last few generations than ever before. 

Are we... getting better at it? Or have we long since crossed a cultural rubicon into weakening our progeny by keeping them away not only from the diseases we bred them to fight but all manner of "Dangers" real & imagined? 

This week, Andy & Brendan question whether the quest for safety is making, has made, will make us... more safe? 

What do you think? Go find someone who disagrees with you and start talking! That's where we're gonna try to do! Press play!
