Bet On It: The Central European Tour
See you in Germany, Austria, Czechia, and especially Poland
I’m doing a European tour this June. The signature event is my talk on “Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids” in Warsaw for kongres590 on either June 21 or 22. The Myth of the Rational Voter, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, The Case Against Education, and Open Borders have all been translated into Polish, which I take as a strong sign of the country’s intellectual excellence. (Admittedly, it’s a little confusing why the Poles translate at all, because their English is so good).
But I’m actually arriving weeks earlier in Frankfurt-am-Main, and speaking in Vienna, Prague, and elsewhere before my keynote in Warsaw. Whenever I go, I’ll try to set up meet-ups with Bet On It readers. And I’m open to other possibilities, including talks, AMAs, and beyond.
My tentative schedule:
June 4 - Frankfurt - heavily jet-lagged, but eating at approximately 3 PM at the delicious Istanbul Fisch Grill

Looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends and making new ones!
Looking very much forward to see you in Hannover! Not a local, though - but a stroll along The Nanas to the Pfannkuchen-haus? (They do steaks, too.) https://www.visit-hannover.com/en/view/content/507923/full/0/800566
Wow! Your itinerary reminds me the old line about European travel in the late 1960s: "If this is Tuesday, we must be in Belgium."
