Podcast of the Week: Rationality, COVID-19, Talisman’s, and Life on the Margins (Tim Ferriss Interviews Tyler Cowen)

Tim Ferriss sat down with Tyler Cowen and you didn’t. And after all the expected questions, they had a real conversation. If you only have time for the last 30ish minutes when Tyler starts questioning Tim, jump straight there (and you’ll probably want to go back to hear the whole interview later). Both of them are able to put out consistently substantive work, connect with, and continue to build on their audiences. They also both make a habit of studying across disciplines, making their work not only deep but also broad. They get into their personality types, their habits, their preferences for reading, their interview preparation techniques, and so much more. It’s a fascinating peek behind the curtain at two important thinkers of our time.
