I could watch this all day--a toy world that is the real world of Iceland and Norway. (HT: Tyler Cowen)
Along that theme, the world is a splendid, big place.
Driverless cars > race car drivers. (HT: Tyler Cowen)
Economic reality > good intentions.
(Public choice) economic reality (is also) > good intentions.
This piece by Megan McArdle hits several good points; namely that it is basically impossible to defend the Crusades and crusaders, Christianity was not and is not the Crusades, and disassociating oneself from something ugly that one was in fact never associated with is a cheap political gimmick.
And now a bit about diet, nutrition, and health:
- The [arguable] truth about "miracle" foods. (I'm a little uncomfortable with this otherwise very good article's appeal to regulatory authority.)
- Speaking of the regulatory authority's lack of credibility . . . dietary cholesterol isn't a worry . . . what'chu talkin' 'bout Willis?
- This Ask Altucher with Ari Whitten of The Low Carb Myth gives a view that speaks very closely to my own, novice view. It is short and rewarding, but takes a minute to get going.
