Great move making this a written out interview! I had opened the tab originially thinking it was a podcast type thing, and it sat for quite a few hours before I got done with work and could actually pay attention, yet lo and behold! I could have started reading it right away!
(Lately I read things I care about, and listening is for movie reviews or blacksmithing videos. I don't know why.)
Anyway, thanks for writing this up about two great authors!
"Honestly? It’s probably my near-complete lack of any kind of education. I was homeschooled in a weird way where I didn’t really have any formal education past my freshman year in high school, and the college-level education I’ve had since then has been at bottom-tier online schools. If you asked me to tell you what a predicate or a preposition were, I’d have to look it up."
Would never have guessed! But I guess in retrospect it makes sense given the amount of uncorrelated truth he produces
I have a question for you guys. Who do you read most often? The reason I ask is because I have a sneaking suspicion all three of you will list Tyler Cowen in your top 5 or 10. Another reason I ask is that I found out about Infovores through reading Arnold Kling, and I suspect Arnold Kling is NOT among P or RC's top 5 or 10 reads. I find the connections among bloggers and public intellectuals (along the lines of https://jacobwood27.github.io/035_blog_graph/) endlessly fascinating....
Nice interview. I hope you all keep on writing and improving. I think the question of what makes people want to subscribe and share is fascinating. It seems to mainly be about signalling an aesthetic and tribal identity, no?

Great. great interview. I've only recently started reading Parrhesia, but I have a soft spot in my heart for RC. RC: write about deontology! Please!

I'm not not eating McDonalds after having read this.
