* “We Make Tenure Decisions Unfairly. Here’s a Better Way.” This is really a “why to end tenure and move to long-term contracts” article, though it is not pitched that way.
* How to fight an outrageous medical bill, explained.
* On the Eve of the Great Psychedelic Debate.
* Putin Exodus. Makes sense to me. Russia’s future seems bleak. For almost all of Russian history, the smartest thing a Russian person could do is leave, and today that is still true.
* Why Do Fertility Rates Rise and Fall?
* “Why I remain a Never Trumper, and what it means.” Makes sense to me.
* “The Streets Were Never Free. Congestion Pricing Finally Makes That Plain..” Seems obvious to me.
* Christensen Scorecard: Data visualization of US postsecondary institution closures and mergers.
* What the private school counseling office grind is really like.
* “#NotMe: On Harassment, Empowerment, and Feminine Virtue.” The rare reasonable and cogent essay in this field.
* “What happens after rich kids bribe their way into college? I teach them.” Pretty close to my experience. Look at the incentives!
* “Student activists demand the punishment of a dissenting professor Samuel Abrams: The university’s response signals a worrying tendency in academia.” Remind me why we have tenure again, per link #1?
* “The invigorating strangeness of Friedrich Nietzsche.” He looks like another word game (or word salad) writer, who, when you investigate him deeply enough, you find nothing.
* The Memetic Tribes of Culture War 2.0. Much more interesting than the title implies.
* “The Corporations Devouring American Colleges.” I would frame this as college sellout more than anything else, but it is useful. I’ve been arguing for a while that colleges have incredible marketing, perhaps the best marketing of any industry in the United States.
* Another piece on why rent control fails.
* The symbiotic growth of the automobile industry and law enforcement..
* The age of robot farmers? Not quite yet, but impressive progress is being made.
* Halle Butler’s novel The New Me sounds good (review at the link) but also too depressing for me to read. If you brave it, report back.
Interesting links. Thanks for posting.
