It's beautiful.

You have to guess, what's it looked like?

Like it's thinking.

I mean, this could be, it's not a human mind.

I mean, look at this.

Like neurons firing.

Artificial intelligence.

Welcome back to Goodfellows, a Hoover Institution broadcast examining social, economic, political, and geopolitical concerns. I'm Bill Whalen, I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow.

I'll be your moderator today, joined by only two of our Goodfellows today.

Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster is not going to be with us, but we are joined as usual by

the historian Neil Ferguson, the economist John Cochran, and sitting in today in HR's place making

this an economist two historian one show, our friend Tyler Cowan, returning Goodfellow's guest.

Tyler Cowen is a professor of economics at George Mason University. He's the author or co-author of

multiple books. I encourage

you to go to that website named after the Big River in South America and check for yourself.

That's Cowell spelled C-O-W-E-N. You'll find his body of work there. He's been described as America's

hottest economists. I'd like to know what a hot economist is, Tyler. He's also been deemed

one of the most influential economists in the past decade. I'd also refer to the excellent blog that he co-authors called Marginal Revolution.

Tyler, welcome back to Goodfellows.

Happy to be here.

Thank you.

So let's get right into it.
