Tyler Cowen on Rationality, COVID-19, Talismans, and Life
on the Margins | Brought to you by
NutriBullet and
ExpressVPN.
"If you need to measure, you've failed." — Tyler
Cowen
Professor Tyler Cowen (@tylercowen) has a
personal moonshot: to teach economics to more people than anyone
else in the history of the world—and he might just succeed. In
addition to his regular teaching at George Mason University,
Tyler has blogged every day at Marginal Revolution for almost 17
years, helping to make it one of the most widely read economics
blogs in the world.
Tyler cocreated Marginal Revolution University, a free online
economics education platform that’s reached millions. He is also
a bestselling author of more than a dozen books, a regular
Bloomberg columnist, and host of the popular Conversations with
Tyler podcast, where he examines the work and worldviews of
thinkers like Martina Navratilova, Neal Stephenson, Reid Hoffman,
and many more.
His latest project is Emergent Ventures, a $5 million fund to
support entrepreneurs who have big ideas on how to improve
society.

This episode is brought to you by
NutriBullet. NutriBullet is the
affordable, easy-to-use, easy-to-clean blender that was first
recommended to me by entrepreneur Noah Kagan when I interviewed
him for the podcast. Its signature blending process transforms
high-fiber veggies, nuts, seeds, and fruits into silky,
nutrient-dense smoothies (or protein shakes, savory soups, and
dips) that are easy to digest and absorb.
Now, the engineers at NutriBullet have created
an incredibly convenient upgrade named the NutriBullet Blender
Combo. This device is their most versatile yet, allowing you to
effortlessly switch between single-serve and full-size
blending—everything that you know and love about the classic
device, plus all the performance and capacity you expect from a
full-size blender. Don’t settle for blenders that leave your
smoothies filled with chunks. Get the NutriBullet Blender Combo,
and introduce your veggies and fruits to 1,200 watts. It easily
gets the job done. And for you, my dear
listeners, NutriBullet is
offering 20% off of all products on its website. To get your 20%
off, just go to

This episode is also brought to you by
ExpressVPN. I’ve been using
ExpressVPN since last summer, and I find it to be a reliable way
to make sure that my data is secure and encrypted, without
slowing my Internet speed. If you ever use public Wi-Fi at, say,
a hotel or a coffee shop (where I often work and as many of my
listeners do), you’re often sending data over an open network,
meaning no encryption at all.
One way to ensure that all of your data is encrypted and can’t be
easily read by hackers is by using ExpressVPN.
All you need to do is download the ExpressVPN app on your
computer or smartphone and then use the Internet just as you
normally would. You click one button in the ExpressVPN app to
secure 100% of your network data. Use my link

extra three months free on a
one-year package!
