Summary
TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: https://www.corbettreport.com/the-most-important-bet-youve-never-heard-of Have you heard of the bet between Paul Ehrlich and Julian Simon.

And that's why we're not taught about this bet in the public indoctrination system. Let's fix that. Today on The Corbett Report, James fills in the missing pieces about the most important bet you've never heard of and what it tells us about the value of human life.
