Some links to things I've been reading or watching that you might also enjoy:

1. 'How Politics Became Pro Wrestling', a video simplifying and synthesising some of Eric Weinstein's (and others') ideas on growth, stagnation, and the derangement of our culture.

2. 'What is economic growth? And why is it so important?', a new blog article by Our World in Data's Max Roser.

3. 'How The Pentagon Started Taking UFOs Seriously', a New Yorker article by Gideon Lewis-Kraus.

4. Tim Harford catches up with Daniel Kahneman for Lunch with the Financial Times to promote the Nobel-winning psychologist's new book Noise.

5. A forgotten Robert Frost poem (below), titled 'Gone Astray'. It was penned in a copy of New Hampshire (1923) to ‘the poet Frank Revell’, who no one has been able to track down. It has been printed in a new volume of his letters.

Have a nice weekend,
