Peter SudermanHOST
And I just want to stop you there because in some ways it makes your point.
Peter SudermanHOST
One of our commenters, I forget, apologies for, I forget who, but one of our commenters actually noted in the discussion on that movie that Norway, which I think, you know, at least all of us, Tyler Cowen wrote this up, like all of us looked at that movie and we're like, this is incredibly critical of the way that Norway handles child protective services.
Peter SudermanHOST
And yet it looks like they kind of, you know, give it some money.
Peter SudermanHOST
Right.
Ben ZweigHOST
What do you think? I mean, do you think that's like, we're seeing little bits of that or like, not so much?
Andrey FradkinGUEST
I'm very consciously not a macroeconomist, and I do believe in Tyler Cohen's, I don't know if it's second or third law, that all statements about interest rates are false.
Andrey FradkinGUEST
Yeah.
Andrey FradkinGUEST
I don't want to try to explain short-run interest rate movements.
Virginia PostrelGUEST
I think they're so taken with the abilities of the technology.
Virginia PostrelGUEST
And I heard a couple of years ago, I heard Tyler Cowen comment.
Virginia PostrelGUEST
He made a comment that I thought was astute.
Virginia PostrelGUEST
He said...
John DelonyHOST
I consume media from two places.
John DelonyHOST
One is, and I've talked about them openly, I check in with the Marginal Revolution, Alex Tabarrok, and Tyler Cowen every day.
John DelonyHOST
And they're economists who are Just brilliant and wise.
John DelonyHOST
And I don't agree with them 100% of the time, but their take is almost always accurate.
8 MINS LATER
John DelonyHOST
And in relationships with people in my community.
John DelonyHOST
And I'm always asking, so what? Like, so what am I going to do with this? And some things are just good to know.
John DelonyHOST
Like, so for instance, Tyler Cowen's been talking about the radical impacts AI is going to make.
John DelonyHOST
He's been talking about it for years, way before it hit the headlines.
Ron UnzGUEST
We can't allow something like that.
Ron UnzGUEST
And one of the people debating against me was Tyler Cowen, you know, sort of prominent libertarian economist, and he was actually publicly advocating open borders, unlimited immigration.
Ron UnzGUEST
And, you know, again, I mean, at the beginning of the debate, it was a New York City audience.
Ron UnzGUEST
A majority of the audience, a plurality of the audience actually supported Open Borders, which was just utterly nuts.
Rob HendersonHOST
that.
Rob HendersonHOST
Yeah, there was a piece in the Free Press from Tyler Cowen, whose writing I generally like and admire, but he did have this...
Rob HendersonHOST
Yeah, it did challenge me a bit where basically he said that Elizabeth Holmes shouldn't go to prison.
Rob HendersonHOST
She should go to go on house arrest because his claim was like, you know, if you're a mother and you didn't commit like a violent crime, then and you have small children, then the sort of default sentencing should just be house arrest.
Alexandros MarinosHOST
mean, good news.
Alexandros MarinosHOST
Tyler Cowen would say that she needs to have no repercussions,
Dr. RollergatorHOST
I think.
Dr. RollergatorHOST
That's true.
CarolineHOST
Oh my God, I can't wait to read it.
KatieHOST
But it meant that I could read Tyler Cowen's piece, opinion, Elizabeth Holmes should not be in prison, which was a treat.
CarolineHOST
What was his argument?
KatieHOST
It was basically that, like, women shouldn't be incarcerated.
