In this episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Professor Bryan Caplan, a renowned American economist and author known for his unorthodox views on various economic and social issues. In the first part of our conversation with Professor Caplan, we explore the importance of challenging the status quo, the myth of the rational voter, and the merits of open borders. 
Professor Caplan shares his motivation to pursue economics and emphasizes the value of evading dogma in economic thinking. He delves into the reasons why dogmas exist and highlights the biases of an irrational voter, discussing where these biases come from and how they affect voting trends.
We also discuss the politics of medical innovations and the relationship between politics and religion. Finally, Professor Caplan sheds light on the issue of immigration and advocates for open borders, explaining his reasoning behind this controversial topic.
Tune in on Friday for the second part of our conversation, where we dive into why you should have more kids, Professor Caplan's book titled "Don't be a feminist," and his thoughts on spending less on public education and building more houses.
