Podcast Recommendations - 22/05/22

Two for Tea - #126: Simon Prentis | How Language Made Us Human This conversation gave me an appreciation for the crucial role communication plays in our lives. Simon also made insightful points about the universality of humanity and the shallow nature of our cultural overlay.

EconTalk - Marc Andreessen: Software, Immortality, and Bitcoin Marc made me excited about Web 3.0 and its native internet currency.

Conversations with Tyler - Tyler and Daniel Talk Talent I’m buying this book and thinking more about my ambition and credulity.

Honestly - What’s the Best Way to Raise Good People? A Debate Each of the three guests offered slightly different and helpful perspectives. Bryan Caplan’s insistence on parenting for the sake of the relationship, not long term character traits, was the most useful.

Cautionary Tales - Bless the Coal-black Hearts of the Broadway Critics Twyla Tharp’s ability to recognise her massive public failure and correct her course was remarkable.

The Megyn Kelly Show - #325: Cultural Backlash Against Truth and Pawns in Political Games | Glenn Loury and Rob Montz Rob Montz created the documentary about Roland Fryer, in which Glenn starred. The story of what Harvard did to him disgusts me.
