I appear on the Jolly Swagman podcast

From the Jolly Swagman himself:

“Hey Tyler – we’ve just published our podcast on Talent – thanks again for a fun chat.

Link here in case you want to share it on Marginal Revolution:

Topics / questions we discussed include:

  • whether you would have backed a 20-something year old John Keats
  • why putting ellipses in emails signals high status
  • your most irrational belief
  • what biographers can teach us about talent identification
  • what made the Henry George seminar you ran with Peter Thiel so good
  • how Sarah Ruden furnishes herself with massive context to gain an edge over other translators
  • What should Obi-Wan have told Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader
  • the Sumerian bar joke
  • whether countries can be both highly capable of solving collective action problems and extremely innovative
  • your view of Australian talent and what makes it unique

Thanks and happy new year!”

Happy New Year everyone!
