#413: Tyler Cowen on Rationality, COVID-19, Talismans, and Life on the Margins

And I am recording I figure might as well record video. What did you have for breakfast? Today, Tyler. Smoked trout, green pepper, green grapes, and some cheddar cheese. Pretty close to my usual. It's an excellent breakfast. Green grapes. Wow, I love this. All right. Let me uh if you could tell me you

Yeah, this could be a question in the actual podcast, of course. It could. It could, yeah, it could definitely be a question. What's uh Why do you choose those items in that breakfast? Uh they s except for the grapes, they store pretty well. That's important. You can buy a week's worth at a time. Uh the trout gives you protein. It's probably either good for you or at least not bad for you.

And it's not something you're tempted to overeat. Like you just can't eat that much smoked trout in the morning. With no salmon, people can attack and not stop. Trout has a A self self limiting function. Yet it tastes good, right? It's a funny uh utility curve for smoked trout.
