David speaks with Garett Jones, an Associate Professor of Economics at George Mason University, and the author of 3 books: Hive Mind, 10% Less Democracy, and The Culture Transplant.They talked about: Democracy, how good it really is, and whether we have too much of it. Then they looked at intelligence, the impact IQ has on your job prospects and whether companies and nations should optimise for having higher IQ workers. Finally, they discussed culture—what it means, how it changes us, and the impact immigrants have on the places they move to.📜Full transcript:www.theknowledge.io/garettjones/📹 Watch on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/Aq0IDtEGaUo👤 Connect with Garett:Twitter: @GarettJonesBooks: Hive Mind | https://amzn.to/3lgMOdV10% Less Democracy | https://amzn.to/3LpbcolThe Culture Transplant | https://amzn.to/3LsttAU🗣 Mentioned in the show:Adam Smith | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_SmithJoel Schneider | https://education.temple.edu/about/faculty-staff/w-joel-schneider-tuh42402Capitol Hill | https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/buildings-grounds/history#:~:text=HistoryPatriot Act | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_ActTyler Cowen | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_CowenTalent | https://amzn.to/3mVt0gvRobert Axelrod | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_AxelrodThe Evolution of Cooperation |https://amzn.to/3JsOYz6Steve Jobs | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_JobsElon Musk | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_MuskBill Gates | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_GatesThe Melting Pot Theory | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_potNeo Europes | https://homework.study.com/explanation/what-are-neo-europes.htmlDavid Epstein | https://davidepstein.com/Range | https://amzn.to/3ThRnkJMichael Kramer | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kramer_(narrator)FANG company | https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fang-stocks-fb-amzn.asp#:~:text=Investopedia Charles C.
