Power Hour with Alex Epstein

Shownotes Transcript

On this week’s Power Hour I explain why I’ve jumped into the COVID-19 policy debate and why I believe bad thinking methods are driving leading predictions and policies. Then I offer a first draft of a path forward, which I call “Don’t Stop Living, Live Smarter." The six key steps are:

Step 1: Acknowledge the difficult reality we are in. Step 2: Recognize that an indefinite universal lockdown is both impractical and immoral. Step 3: Massively increase testing and transparency Step 4: Liberate American ingenuity to massively increase treatment ability Step 5: Help the highly vulnerable minority protect themselves. Step 6: Go back to work (and school) with virus-prevention best-practices.
