Pre-weekend links, smart words from smart people edition
Lily Lynch: How the US Stunted Europe. Short and to the point, no notes. Sufficient to make me re-subscribe to Lynch’s newsletter. She links to her review of Sanna Marin’s biography, which is also no-notes wonderful.
Chris Person for Aftermath: Horses is Tame. I have never heard of the game Horses before or the controversy surrounding it, so I must assume that Valve, Epic and others who banned it for not sure what exactly have never heard of the Streisand effect. Well done, folks.
Jim Olds: How Will You Know You’ve Succeeded?. I have panned this career research administrator’s first blog post, but this one was in fact enlightening. You have to keep the funders happy, even if they are an amorphous blob called “the American taxpayer”.
Dr. Christine Corbett Moran: Scaling Career and Family: Systems Thinking, Public School, Home Enrichment. Advice on raising kids from a couple of scientists/engineers turned entrepreneurs. Useful, if a bit on the spectrum, and I even more thankful we had extensive family support when raising our kids, particularly early on.
Nick Maggiulli: There is No Substitute for Thinking. What are students who use ChatGPT thinking, if they are thinking at all? Will they be writing texts like the ones above or post AI slop in their middle age? Time will tell.
