- Tyler Cowen is a professor, best-selling author, blogger, podcaster, and one of the most influential economists of this generation. In the early days of the pandemic, Cowen launched the Fast Grants program, which funded COVID-related science in less than 48 hours -- a remarkable feat in the medical sector. He discusses his efforts to accelerate innovation, including his work to transform how investors identify and back the next generation of brilliant entrepreneurs. An all-around polymath, Cowen also reveals the technologies and breakthroughs that excite him most for the decades ahead.

Sounds harsh, I know, but there have been *_plenty_* of... not worthwhile stuff I clicked on in ads, and just being able to sit through and listen to a thirty minute one is nice.
We need to bring aprentiships back into the culture and expand it beyond the trades...........Joe should go on Mike Rowes podcast.
@17:00 energy....most people don't understand the vast amount of energy needed to create and maintain our American lifestyles....I have done alot of research on it and depending on sources it is somewhere between 150,000 kwh -------to-------500,000 kwh of energy per person per year ......to maintain our current lifestyles.... I wish I could make people understand this.
The extremes is an interesting subject....Jordan Peterson has talked about this alot.
I think we need a foundation of only one parent in the household needing to work full time. Having both parents working full time has undermined our culture in many ways imo.
You can't just reform or make slight changes to the IRS, it has to be abolished; come on people, we literally fought a revolutionary war over illegal taxation.
Capitalism is suffering under the consequences of less values...... "“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”"------John Adams
