My guest today is Jerry Muller, a professor of history at The Catholic University of America, where he has taught since 1984. His latest book is “The Tyranny of Metrics.” Quantifying metrics can be a good thing, however, it can easily go too far and have great consequences. Jerry sees pitfalls of focusing too much on metrics everywhere – schools, hospitals, even venture capital. Children gear their learning toward beating a test rather than intellectually developing their mind. Doctors fixate on standardized performance measures, rewards and punishment, and publicized accountability. The system encourages and sometimes requires doctors to game the system. Venture capitalism, the very field where creativity should prosper, tends to foster an anti-creative atmosphere. Investors want to see data to back up a new product so they can see proof of a future profit.

The topic is his book The Tyranny of Metrics.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Intrinsic motivation
  • Tyranny of metrics
  • Metric fixation
  • Metrics in law enforcement
  • Metrics in health industry
  • Managerial ideology
  • Powerpoint presentations
  • Metrics in China

“I find your work fascinating…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’ve been listening to your podcast for about a year now. I first heard about you from the Bloomberg Odd Lots Podcast, where you spoke about Turtle Traders. I then started listening to your own podcast and I find your work fascinating!

You conduct brilliant interviews with interesting people from all kinds of backgrounds, but your interviews reveal a lot about their work, without giving it all away, which I appreciate a lot. One definitely needs to follow up and do some more research on your guests after an episode; which I try to do in most cases. I highly enjoy your podcast.

I have 2 requests: First, would it at be possible to have any of the fathers of Behavioral Economics on your show, i.e Kahneman or Thaler (I don’t think you’ve had either of them on your show yet? I may be mistaken.) Second, on your show, you mention that if one wanted to get started with Trend Following, to reach out to you. So, my question is, do you have any suggestions of where to start? Which resources should I be reading, what kind of programs would I need to start trading, and how much money would I need? I recently started my first job, so in some months, I’ll have a bit more disposable income than others. Knowing where to start would be invaluable.

Thanks for your show, I am a big fan.

Kind regards
[Name]

Ep. 673: Christopher Ryan Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Christopher Ryan, best known for co-authoring “Sex at Dawn.” The book deals with the evolution of monogamy in humans and human mating systems. In opposition to what the authors see as the “standard narrative” of human sexual evolution, they contend that having multiple sexual partners was common and accepted in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. One of the more pivotal moments was when he was an undergraduate in college. He was able to skip his junior year of college and subsequently hitchhiked to Alaska. Before that journey to Alaska, he thought the world was a dangerous place. Once he got outside his bubble and met strangers, he learned how kind and generous people were. It shifted the way he thought about life and the world.

The topic is his book Sex at Dawn.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Monogamy
  • Hunter and gatherer society
  • Agricultural revolution
  • Culture of women sexuality
  • Sexual transmitted disease
  • War on masturbation
  • Social groups
