A quotation from Steven Levitt

No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]

Haven't seen a podcast decline as much as Freakonomics. From highlighting importat behavior economics to platforming a medical "professional" saying "trump derangement syndrome is real" without any pushback at all.

The other recent episodes were series on a single christian song and how horses are being traded by billionaires. Maybe it's a good time to shut freakonomics down 😬

My favourite People I Mostly Admire episodes. I'm sad it's ending. #freakonomics

I just finished watching a book talk with author Stephen Dubner celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of my favorite books, Freakonomics.

Interesting stuff. It was cool to hear about the behind-the-scenes of how the books and podcasts are put together, and how a simple conversation with the right person can spark enough curiosity to inspire a deep dive of almost any subject, even to someone with little to no background in it.
