Bryan Caplan is an irrepressible and eclectic economist at George Mason University.
Our first two interviews for the 80,000 Hours Podcast were:
Bryan Caplan on whether lazy parenting is OK, what really helps workers, and betting on beliefs
Economist Bryan Caplan thinks education is mostly pointless showing off. We test the strength of his case.
This time I’m thinking of asking him about:
• Why its foolish to read the news • How I’m worried about advances in AI, while Bryan mostly isn’t • His new book: Voters as Mad Scientists: Essays on Political Irrationality
What (else) should I ask him (about)?
