Tyler Cowen on The Complacent Class . And there's a theme in that section that that's not necessarily a good thing. So, talk about that change- -and I thought you had some great insights into policing in there. Talk about why that's changed and what it portends. Tyler Cowen: Well, I don't favor rioting. I've also never done it myself.

Twin Peaks, also known as Twin Peaks: The Return, is an American serial drama television revival series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, which is a continuation.

But that said, the fact that it is so much less frequent I think we should think critically about and not just cite as a completely positive thing. We have bureaucratized protest in this country. Like most other things, it's much harder to get the necessarily permits and clearances. You can be shut down at any time for national security reasons.

There are more bureaucracies you need to go through. Strictly on the private side, it's much more a matter of having PR (public relations) consultants and people managing your event than it used to be. So, the fixed costs are higher; the law is tougher; the regulations are more onerous. And I wouldn't call that I direct restriction on freedom of speech, but I don't think it's an entirely positive thing, either.

And the police in turn have learned a great deal. Sci Fi Movies Dvd Absolutely Fabulous The Movie (2016). They make sure demonstrations don't get out of control. They have better surveillance, communications; they apply management technique. For the most part- -Ferguson was an exception- -they defuse trouble before it gets started. And there's been this overall pacification of our culture which on any given day, week, or month is . But, in the longer run it means we lose our ability to course- correct. Again, I just want people to think more critically about this.

Russ Roberts: Let's go back to something we were talking about a minute ago because I want to hear you talk about this piece of it. You write very beautifully about your childhood and young adulthood, and then the present, and how you were straddling two worlds and how you appreciate that; and how young people today- -they are in one world. Talk about what you were referring to there. Tyler Cowen: Well, you and I, we belong to what I think will be seen as a unique generation. We grew up without having an Internet, so we had to learn how to look for used books, how to track down scholars, how to make personal contacts in a particular way, how to use a library- -in the old fashioned sense: one had to browse the shelves for books. The only book you might have in the house might be a great classic, Tocqueville, and you would read it for the 5th or 6th time and study it in depth, because you couldn't go browse your Twitter feed.

Now, that had big advantages, and also big disadvantages. But then when we're in, you know, more or less our 3. Internet world, where there's blogs, there's Twitter, there's search, there's reading small bits of things. So many things are searchable; it's so email people and contact them.

You can watch the speakers you love on You. Tube and so on. And, the ability to have both of those worlds of learning I feel is quite special.

And it's actually one of the greatest blessings of my life that most people my age don't appreciate; and those who are either too old or too young to have bridged those two areas, I feel they are missing something quite significant. By the way, I think it was Ben Casnocha who first made the point to me, so I would credit Ben- -who I believe I do in a footnote. He said, 'You're so lucky, Tyler.' I said, 'What do you mean?' And then he explained this to me. And Ben is young- -he's, I think not even 3. Russ Roberts: Yes. But why do you- -you're not much of a curmudgeon. I try not to be one.

I think as you get older you drift inevitably toward curmudgeonliness. But what would be the argument that, let's say, a young person would- -how would you convince a young person that they missed something? Most of them would think you are crazy.

Why would you want to go wander in a library or use a map, or, you know? Tyler Cowen: I don't think those young people do think I'm crazy. And I talk to young people all the time. And I often make this point to them. And I don't think I know of any case of any one who has failed to grasp it.

Maybe they hadn't understood it to begin with, but when I say it, the response is a kind of astonished recognition, is what I find. Russ Roberts: Well, say it again. Say it again. We're talking about nostalgia for 1. This pre- internet era.

Tyler Cowen: . Russ Roberts: No, I know. But that's how recently- - Tyler Cowen: But even before the 1. Russ Roberts: Sure, of course.

But there's a certain strangeness to how- -go ahead. Tyler Cowen: Social media can distract you and keep you busy and keep you too tied up with fairly short or even sometimes superficial messages.

There's something addictive about it. Though they're nonetheless very powerful tools for learning and connecting.

We should agree with that. And we may even think the new world is better on net. But there is something from the old world when you didn't have that, that you had to master other ways and styles of learning. And if you can put that together with the new approaches, that's just very powerful. And people I tell this point to, generally they get it. And I think the younger people get it all the more, because they lived a downside of the tech world more directly.

Russ Roberts: I agree with that. We've talked on here a number of times about how- -people are aware of this challenge- -we could call it an addiction to Twitter or to Facebook or to your phone. Tyler Cowen: Or to your podcasts. Russ Roberts: Yeah. Well, they don't come out often enough. I guess you could listen more than once, think of this- - Tyler Cowen: Go to Liberty Fund conferences- -I know you do all the time- -and if you look at probably the smartest, most incisive, insightful commentators; and then just ask yourself, like, 'On average are those people spending more or less time on social media than the other participants?' We know the answer. I think there's something to that.

Russ Roberts: My view on this is that, you know, I keep the Jewish Sabbath, so I'm guaranteed a 2. Which I'm grateful for, for many, many reasons. But that's one of them. And I think- -I'm not suggesting that more people are going to become more religious Jews. But I do think there will be some cultural pressure to find ways to detach oneself from devices and the Internet, going forward.

Do you agree? Tyler Cowen: Yes, I do. I already have people writing me declaring their intention to . We'll see if they do. But that they're even thinking about it- - Russ Roberts: Yeah. I think about it myself. It's not so much for me an addiction as the snark factor occasionally wears me down.

One of the reasons I stick with it is I think I should be able to get over that. But it's not so easy. Tyler Cowen: You also raised a demographics question in what you said. So, I find in my own life I was most pessimistic as a teenager, in the 1.

I really thought the world was falling apart. And, maybe in a way it was. And then over the next two decades I became much more optimistic. I think my optimism peaked in the mid- to late 1. And I think since then, not in absolutely terms- -I know all the numbers on poverty reduction and life expectancy that you do. But, if you just ask the question today, 'Do more people believe in freedom than in the 1.

I think the answer is 'No.' I think that's extremely important; and I think we should be more pessimistic in some significant ways. Russ Roberts: Yeah, what's happened to me- -I think I developed a reputation as an optimist, somewhere- -certainly my own self- image had that as my character. And the financial crisis was a jarring realization that I'd been overly optimistic. Tyler Cowen: It was 9/1. Russ Roberts: Yeah, that, too. I remember after the anthrax scare wondering if we'd ever be able to have commerce again across international borders and state lines, and how incredibly destructive that would be.

That turned out not to be a worry that was real. But, it of course could happen again, things like that.
