Tyler Cowen (GMU professor, prolific blogger, & podcaster) likes to use the (unusual) word "Straussian" in writing & conversation.
For example, from his November 2023 episode with John Gray:
COWEN: If you’re an honest reader of the book, you roll your eyes and say, “Oh, come on, is this really the message here, or is this a kind of Straussian book?” Right?
GRAY: Yes. Well, you mean it might have a hidden message, and the hidden message in this case is the obvious one.
However, his recent episode with Marilynne Robinson does not use the word.
This market resolves YES if Tyler Cowen says the word "Straussian" on any episode of the podcast "Conversations with Tyler" released between now (March 26th) and May 31st, according to the official transcripts.
Background: "Straussian" has the literal meaning "Of or relating to Leo Strauss or his philosophy" (Wikitionary), although that's not quite what Tyler means. You can find a "definition" here on his blog, and you can decide whether we are meant to take that definition at face value or find our own Straussian reading (a rabbit hole that is almost certainly not worth your time).
