Tyler Cowen: commitment

Transcript context

…It’s everything. It’s the greatest art form of the 20th century. I was born in the 20th century, and I’m going to stick with that form as long as I can and see what it does for me. It’s not always good. I’m very willing to walk out, but I want to be in the theater again seeing a new release and not having to pay $100 to rent out the whole thing. But in the meantime, I will pay up, yes. I hope that you will be able to enjoy a theater and enjoy going to see movies with other people. I hope that we will be able to see each other face-to-face. I don’t think we’ve even seen each other face-to-face since maybe April when I recorded the Tetlock episode remotely. We were very concerned with disinfecting the microphone and wearing gloves.

That’s Dallas Floer, Grauben Lara, Caitlyn Schmidt, Kate Brown, Kate De Lanoy, Mike Hopper, Sloane Shearman, Karen Plante, Christina Behe, Haley Larsen, Anna McVae, Carter Woolly, and Ashley Schiller. Thank you all very much. We look forward to another year of production.…
