“Robert Kaplan, The Revenge of Geography.”
02 / recommendation
“I’m a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. That’s a good book. Dirda is a very smart guy.”
03 / belief
“I think we did. Yes, we did. We checked after the new book came out. Mark Cuban; MrBeast, the YouTuber; Dolly Parton.”
04 / belief
“I don’t think we have replenishment of fresh material on a rapid enough basis. And I’m writing a book, my take on the greatest economists of all time — Hayek, Keynes, Smith, Malthus, Mill — and why they’re interesting or where they went wrong, and that’s pretty far along.”
05 / uncertainty
“Patrick Collison would’ve been 27. I don’t know if he’s the youngest, but he must be close.”
06 / belief
“Take This Waltz, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Margaret, which I think is a Margaret Thatcher documentary.”
07 / belief
“You’ve heard it too many times. I would say, in that sense, no, but definitely a big hit for Murray.”
08 / belief
“Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, and you added, “Boring for most people, big screen only, I suspect.”
09 / belief
“I think that is one of the core things here — getting quantitative, numerical when it’s really hard to do so.”
10 / belief
“I think good, but there’s been enough other books that it’s not so special anymore.”
11 / belief
“Just paying tribute to the original Three Stooges deserves a mention, I think, so I don’t regret having put it on the list.”
12 / belief
“I think he’s milked it too much at this point and become a marketer, so not the movie as a movie, but all that has gone down in my eyes.”
13 / belief
“Readers can correct me, listeners can correct me if I’m wrong here, but I believe one of the sources that people point to that format is actually the Siskel and Ebert show that started in the ’80s.”
14 / belief
“I think in particular, you suggested that some of his most commercially successful, like Jurassic Park, are his worst movies.”
15 / belief
“Seinfeld — we have, I think, had a direct line to — we did have a connect with Seinfeld, and we sent an invitation pre-COVID, I think, or maybe during COVID.”
16 / belief
“Stewart Brand, who up until Jeremy Grantham was our oldest CWT guest. I think Grantham.”
17 / belief
“I suspect the movie’s more subtle and the TV show is too literal, would be my guess, not having seen the television show.”
18 / belief
“I’m not sure I’m free to let on what they all are, but some pretty good places. I think the book has a remarkably dedicated set of readers.”
19 / belief
“I’ve taught that movie, I think, five times since then, so I rewatch it every year, and it’s incredible.”
20 / belief
“I actually emailed you. This is before I worked at Mercatus, but when Michael Crichton died, I emailed you and asked you if you would write anything, and I think you said, “Nothing particular is occurring to me to say that would be of any value.”
21 / belief
“If you don’t count the viral clip, maybe SBF will overtake all the others, whether or not it has done so yet. Those would be my guesses, but I suspect I’m wrong.”
22 / uncertainty
“I have a few in Spanish in my pile to read, but it takes me so long, I don’t know when I’ll get to them.”
23 / evaluation
“” He actually had a deeper understanding of the scarcity of good operational talent than I realized at the time.”
24 / preference
“I think the standard filter is if it’s not coming through a personal connection, don’t even bother with it.”
25 / preference
“I think we should have more Irish people on. Roy Foster was great. He was a definite favorite.”
26 / evaluation
“They’re more like vignettes. That was much more of a deeper study, not just of the master chef but also his sons because that was a key part of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the sons who were, I think, in their 40s but were still in the shadow of their dad.”
27 / preference
“I’m an Abbott and Costello guy. I think I watched the most of that. I think some of that holds up.”
28 / evaluation
“Look, the number of sources is limited. So there’s new archeology, but until we read those burnt codexes and the like, just rehashing with another interpretation — it’s diminishing returns.”
29 / preference
“I don’t know that I found anything good other than the new season of Borgen, which came to the US this year.”
30 / prediction
“After it was recorded, I don’t think either Marc or I thought anything about that moment, but somehow that was the time when people wanted to jump down Marc’s throat over something, and they picked up on that clip. I think the best answer to what’s the use case for Web 3.”
31 / evaluation
“In reverse order, the ideal tax system is a progressive consumption tax with a relatively light rate of taxation on capital income, though it can’t be zero because otherwise, people will reclassify their labor income into capital income.”
32 / recommendation
“I think to hire someone who’s worked in Salt Lake City archives would be a better approach than for me to be digging around in a library.”
