    Is lazy parenting OK? | Bryan Caplan (2022)

    Bryan Caplan, Rob Wiblin

    Philosopher and author Brian Kaplan discusses his upcoming graphic novel on housing deregulation and presents a comprehensive argument that voter behavior is driven by group identity rather than material self-interest. He challenges conventional economic wisdom by asserting that parental influence on adult outcomes is largely negligible due to genetics, while immigration provides significant net benefits through cultural assimilation and labor market efficiency. Furthermore, Kaplan critiques modern effective altruism for falling prey to social desirability bias and defends a "weak deontological" framework that prioritizes individual autonomy against state paternalism.
