Daniel Kahneman: COVID-19: It Could Take Several Years, But Ultimately Life Will Go On

Here’s a great interview with Daniel Kahneman speaking on the Politics And More podcast about the impact of the Coronavirus on society. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

For old people like me the prospects are not good. I see very little reason for optimism. I mean at the best I would say for the older among us it’s pretty much a life sentence of incarceration at home, or a very long term sentence. This is going to change the rest of our lives. So for society I’m definitely optimistic. There’s no question this is not an existential danger. We’ll come out of it. Society will come out of it. The economy will come out of it. It could take several years, but ultimately life will go on.
