Today I learned about Spontaneous Order, the mind-bending idea that society’s most incredible innovations emerge naturally through voluntary cooperation rather than through a centralized master plan. I learned about this phenomenon from my guest, Connor Boyack, who thinks a lot about such things, and had the good sense to cast me in an episode of The Tuttle Twins, the ridiculously popular series of books he dreamed up one day, that has since turned into a ridiculously popular animated series. In this particular episode, Connor allowed me to sing a song about the perils of college debt, which I did to the best of my ability. I’ve wanted to thank him for that opportunity ever since, and congratulate him on launching one of the most consequential animated series of all time, along with a think tank called “Libertas,” which is kind of fantastic. I finally got the chance to do so, in the midst of this utterly enjoyable conversation, which you can experience here.
