More likely should he do a podcast with Lex Fridman, no?
- whimsicalism 3y agoTyler Cowen is a much better interviewer than Lex Fridman imo Cowen is not very flexible and clearly just is running through a list of questions, but I would take that over Fridman’s relatively shallow and boring questions like “what is love” any day
- pgayed 3y agoI don't know if it's possible to build an audience as large as Fridman’s without superficial treatment of wide ranging topics. (I appreciate his efforts but I don't consider him a geek of any discipline or field, limiting his depth overall.)
- coffeebeqn 3y agoIsn’t he a MIT professor? That seems like an awfully high bar
- whimsicalism 3y agoHe is not a professor, and you would be surprised how little being an MIT affiliate means
- ghaff 3y agoI'm probably in the minority here but I don't really care a lot for Fridman's podcasts unless maybe it's a guest I'm really really interested in hearing. For a 1:1 conversation/interview, I personally find 1 hr. is about the limit--and when I had a podcast, I usually kept it to more like 30 minutes.
- dredmorbius 3y agoMinority, but not alone. What annoys me most about Fridman is that he manages to snag a number of truly excellent guests ... and then produces truly mediocre interviews of them. That and ... a three-hour ramble is simply too long. Either edit it down or break it up, or both.

- badpun 3y agoAlso, teenager-level philosophy.
