The Tim Ferriss Show

NOTE

Be skeptic at the right spots.

In my paper, 'The Bishop and the Economist,' I explore the correlation between skepticism towards religion and the stock market. Interestingly, those who doubt the existence of God often fall for stock market scams. On the other hand, religious individuals tend to be more cautious. I cite Bar-Lafmi's studies on skepticism and its connection to religious beliefs. I also discuss how skeptics are often wary of being taken advantage of. Check out my book 'Black Swans' for more on this topic.
