    Using example of Boeing 737 max and coronavirus in China, Scott Sumner argues century long societal trend towards more risk aversion. Implies an ever more fragile future, slower progress. Plausible.

    This graf by Freddie on how today’s social media works is good. If you reach higher heights of status, merely hint at your target. Then step back and let your follower wannabees do your dirty work.

    Reminder: opposing racism doesn’t require you to pretend that there’s no such thing as human ability, that IQ tests have no validity, or that genes don’t matter for human individual differences. Repeating easily-disprovable talking points helps no one.

    Also. More recently, most newsletters I just take the RSS feed directly, then unsubscribe from the email itself. This is my most preferred method of reading them.

    "I now use a Gmail filter for each newsletter to skip my actual inbox and instead put them in a 'Newsletter' folder, which I’ll check in the morning as time permits." from Yes. Been doing this for years. Works great.

    One thing which makes it work is it’s looking back on the 1920s from 1930. So even though we (current day reader) look back at both, the perspective of looking back works. While feeling vivid and fresh. Even as half of what’s cited as soon-to-come also seems foreign.

    Just starting but very good with such telling detail bringing that world to life. He’s profiling an imaginary Mr Smith in May 1919. Often contrasting with the upcoming future of 1930. 👍

    Good explainer on R0 from Especially liked this bit on R0 being a mean. Skewness of distribution matters.

    Sanitation—pest control, water filtration and chlorination, safe sewage disposal, milk pasteurization, etc—changed the infectious disease mortality rate more than antibiotics and vaccines, because they happened far earlier. from 👍

    Also, from same post, liked this analogy of exaggeration effect of cites not reading original paper, to same effect with social media.
