Why pop stars aren't having kids (and why you might not either)

I love that. I completely agree with you. And I think that this kind of binary, which is not just a grasp of the question as a binary one, but it's also this binary that we have in identities that we see people kind of doubling down on the identity of the the woes with kids and the childless. I think these are underserving us.

I think the question I would like to have people ask is, do I want to take part in, sometimes I call it a little facetiously, team humanity? Do I think we deserve a future and a good one? And if so, only then, and if the answer is yes, then I can ask, how are you going to do it? Are you going to do it by having biological children?

Maybe you're going to be a parent, but these aren't your biological children. Maybe you're going to be a great aunt. Maybe you're going to be a godparent. Maybe you're going to be a teacher. Maybe you're going to be a politician that secures the right kind of conditions so people can raise their families in comfort and dignity.

Maybe you're going to be an artist who creates an artistic legacy that's going to enrich our lives and that we can hand down to future generations. Maybe you're going to be an amazing interviewer and you're going to help people think through the way they want to shape their own lives and the lives of others.

So there are a lot of ways, I think, of contributing to that robust, flourishing, better human future. I don't think having children is the only way. I don't think having children is the best way. It is fundamental if we want to have... an artistic intellectual legacy to give to the future generations, we probably need future generations.

What was the last thing you ate in your car? I will say, I feel like I've been doing a lot of eating in my car these days. I'm nine months pregnant, and so I do a lot of eating.

Particularly for me, being here in Detroit, I think part of the context that I like to give is even just the sense of place, the neighborhood that a new restaurant is has opened up in is really important, especially for a city that's quickly gentrifying. I think when we look at what Keith Lee does, that piece might not be there, but I think he also is offering a sort of service journalism as well.
