Friday Links!
Leading off this week, from C. Lee (more later), a book review of a B.F. Skinner experiment in child-rearing: The Heir Conditioner. More (from his daughter): I was not a lab rat.
This is fascinating: Chongqing, the world’s largest city – in pictures.
Thoughtful and well-written: In the age of AI, we must protect human creativity as a natural resource.
From Eric Higgins-Freese, and it's amazing: Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 5 Years.
From Wally, and it's ridiculous: Fallout creator Tim Cain says he was "ordered to destroy" his personal archive of the RPG's development: "Individuals and organizations actively work against preservation".
From C. Lee, and his links have a strong political theme this week. Leading off, groceries? Really? More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says. We can only hope: Resist, eggheads! Universities are not as weak as they have chosen to be. Unbelievable: Japanese PhD Student Has Visa Revoked in the US Due to Alleged Criminal History. Welcome to the grift: Anti-Vaxxers Are Grifting Off the Measles Outbreak—and Claim a Bioweapon Caused It. This should come as no surprise: Wealthy Americans have death rates on par with poor Europeans. Lots of coward to go around right now: Cowardly Science Awards Cut Seth Rogen’s Comments About Trump From Speech. Indeed: Silicon Valley got Trump completely wrong. A revealing read: ‘America is more divided than ever — but how is it affecting our love lives? I spent a year dating conservative men to find out’. A fascinating video: This giant model stopped a terrible plan. More: Reber Plan. Origins: Japan's Kirin Beer begins as William Copeland's Spring Valley Brewery in Yokohama.
